Primarily a walking path but provides a green level riding route option.
Dogs are allowed on leash from the McNamara parking lot as far north as this e/w line (essentially allowed on the short loop around the pond). North of this is a no dog area until you are all the way up to the main Burchfield entrance. Dogs are allowed on 6' leash from the Burchfield access (north end of park) until you enter the woods to access the trails where they are once again prohibited.
