Due to the recent snow, the trails were often muddy, had large puddles, and even small amounts of flowing water across the path. There were a few downed trees; none that were particularly hard to overcome, but not suitable for some older people.
The wildlife itself was quite beautiful; lots of mossy trees and we even saw a few chipmunks. I would remind people to keep their dogs leashed, as this isn't an off-leash trail area and several people we came across had their dogs running wild. This disturbs wildlife and can be unexpected for someone who may have chosen these hikes for their on-leash rule for whatever reason.
