A decent climb to get up to the bluffs. Eventually, the trail dead ends into a large field. You need to circle back and pick up the rest of the trail that you most likely passed on the way to the dead end. During the spring and summer, it looks like there would be good shade coverage for those hot days. At one point, we did need to crossover a small stream. I'm not sure how big it gets after rainfall. It was very easy to cross without getting wet since it was so small. A decent amount of parking spaces and some riverside views in the rest of the park. Would come back for sure."
