Family Friendly The beautiful cascading creek at several locations, mnakes this a popular destination for hikers, and others seeking a peaceful picnic or a summer splash.

Description

The Blue Trail is finally receiving an upgrade that has changed much of the trail in the area. It is designed to be mostly fast and flowy with a few easy hills and technical challenges. It passes alongside the creek four separate times along the way, with ideal stopping spots for rest or picnics.

The accessibility of resting places makes this trail popular among trail runners and hikers, so be conscientious of the foot traffic on trail.
