A nice place to put on a walk and not have traffic to look out for when leading a group of walkers.

Great place to walk the dogs. I regularly spend 4 or 5 hours walking around the entire wood. There is a good variety of trees and scenery from area to area.

Wonderful place. Went on the bikes with kids and enjoyed every second.
