Notes and comments:
Good smooth surface for power hiking. Watch out for the bicycles. They move fast and run silent.
You are not out in the wilderness on this trail, but it is still a very enjoyable hike and very accessable for a quick hiking exersize.
The hiking trail passes through a Veterans Memorial Park that is very nice. It honors Vietnam medics and other branches of the military.
