In the winter, some trails are groomed for cross-country skiing and closed to hiking and snowshoeing traffic. Be sure to check for ticks if hiking here in the warmer months.

Very nice paved trail along the river with parking and port-a-potties at the start. Accessibility: There are five designated accessible spaces in the paved parking lot off of Water St. at the north end of the trail. One of them is van-accessible with a striped access aisle. The trail surface is asphalt, smooth, and typically at least 6 feet wide. The most accessible portion of the trail is the first 2.5 miles out. The estimated grade is mostly gentle (5% or less) except for steep sections...
