You can walk a loop or walk, cross the street and continue to follow it that way. I did and it was so beautiful. There were deer absolutely everywhere! Along the trail there is also picnic tables. Nice easy trail to follow."

There are two paths at the start of the trail, first one the main pavement and second is a crushed stone path. Crushed stone trail is a nice short walk towards the east side of the residence, which leads back to the main pavement. The main trail heads towards Theodore, but if you want shade, you can take the path across Gaylord; which has pavement as well and a small cute residential pond. Or you could continue the walk towards Theodore (no trash can after the three joining paths), which veers east along Theodore, nice and curvy. This path ends when you approach Edgerton intersection, which then starts a new trail that’s called Joliet Junction trail."
