This trail is NOT COVID SAFE. The passage way is very narrow once you enter the real trail, away from the houses. It can only fit 1-2 people shoulder to shoulder at best.
During our trip, we encountered 4 groups of people, and none of them wore a mask. The people were pretty negligent, and no wonder the infectious virus couldn’t be controlled. One of them was a woman with her brown dog unleashed, and it came straight to my kids almost biting them until the owner shouted to stop it. It ruined our experiences. We also encountered another with dog as well. It’s almost if it’s resident’s dog park. But given the super narrow path, it’s really frustrating. At entrance, there are signs clearly stating that dogs need to be leashed.
Aside from the negligent people who roamed this trail, the trail itself was actually quite nice even under the hot sun. There’re plenty of trees to provide shades, blue dragon flies that go all around, and quiet trail. I only wished that the people who used it were mindful of others.

It's sad to see race being unnecessarily mentioned an otherwise useful trip report.

If it’s that much of a concern maybe stay home

Sounds like there is more negativity on this post rather than how nice it was to get out in nature

Thanks for editing the trip report to remove the unnecessary race reference. Huge improvement.
