Main promenade for the park as wide, flat path used by dog walkers, stroller pushers, bike riders, and more.
How To Get There
Once at the state park, parking for the two ends are at Spoone Recreation Area and Welcome Center.

Typical Conditions
Flat and wide clay path which could be muddy and slick during/after a rain. One uncut blowdown across trail during visit. Social trails down to the stream/lake inlet. Trail appears to be part of the high school cross-country route as white directional arrows painted on the ground.
Miscellaneous Information
Reportedly good for wildlife spotting as many different bird and animal species in areas during early mornings.
