Ample parking with access to a beautiful trail that is a series of two intersecting loops with an additional, off circle trail that is an in-and-out leading to view of water/coastal wetlands. The outer perimeter of the loop is approximately 1.3 miles with a 135 ft elevation gain. The shorter loop is approximately 0.7 miles with a 80 ft elevation gain. The trail to the cove is 0.6 miles round trip with a 80 ft elevation gain.
All trails are marked well with blue trail heads and have multiple standalone maps spread throughout the trail. These trails are packed earth/dirt trails will some exposed rocks and roots to add some challenges. The trails occasionally pass over streams/creeks and there are occasional glacial erratics/stone walls and wood platform bridges. The trail is good for bird watching with wildlife observation opportunities. While there may be other cars in the parking lot, the trail is diverse and may offer seclusion.
