THE HIKE: 

The trail starts at the end of West Avenue next to the sign.

Heading to the right bypass the EMS access...

... heading towards the scout sign.

After that sign there will be white arrows leading the way on the white trail. Other than these arrows and some faded paint on other trails, the trails are not well marked.

A balloon!  This would actually be #2 of the year since I found one in my neighborhood on my daily walks but I am way behind other years right now due to lack of hiking.

There was a path to the right partially blocked by intentionally laid branches but we beyond that and up the hill for a look and found the best Delaware River view of the hike. 

Signs of Spring!

Back at the center where parking is to the left, we continued across for the other section of trails.

Sometimes there are old paint blazes.

Continuing to loop around the perimeter trails ...

... back to the parking lot.
