      Very neat to see new trails in this area as most of the trails were built in the 2000s.

      Nice little addition going to be a good trail but I broke my toe on the saplings that were only partially cut off the side of the trail. Leaving 4 plus inch spikes sitting out of the ground. Very dangerous plus a lot of the trees you're going close to have four to six inch spikes sticking out where the builder only cut off half the branches. Signs on the trail very clearly said still under construction so I'm hoping these things will get cleaned up. Trail is fun though it's going to be a great thing as it beats in
