THE HIKE:
This park was an old golf course so 95% of the trails are paved. The dirt paths are short and connect one paved path to the other.
 |
| We headed to the far side of the parking lot from where we parked. |
 |
| Parts of the terrain are surprisingly hilly. |
 |
| A downy woodpecker with breakfast. |
 |
| This side path is supposed to lead to a scenic view of Mantua Creek but it's not that easy to get to ... |
 |
| ... and you have to stand in sticker bushes for the view. The views from the bridges are better. |
 |
| Two Northern Flickers |
 |
| Part of the trail loops closely by residences then proceeds back into the park. |
 |
| Looks like something came out of the water, crossed them turned back just before we got there. |
 |
| Crossing from the inner path over to the perimeter path ... |
 |
| ... just before the parking lot. |
