A short nature trail, with periodic benches, weaves throughout the park’s forested areas.  The trail is marked, but deviates very far from the park’s open area.  Hikers should be aware of venomous snakes native to the area and the possibility of being hit by flying frisbees.   Picnic tables are provided at the front of the park and fishing is allowed in the creek and wetland areas.
