I went with my no one year old son and we parked at Bull Run and then walked down a slight incline into the woods. As you head out, you can hear cars but the further you go, the sound disappears. It was a quiet trail and we only passed five people but we did start at 1:30 pm on a 90 degree day. There is a ton of shade and we did not overheat. There are clear marks throughout the trail to keep you on track. There was some woman who had her wet dog off leash and it jumped up on me but otherwise pretty uneventful. I recommend this for small kids and it was pretty easy. The public bathrooms are not open at the trailhead so plan to use the loo before you go.

Generally decent hiking trails but way too short. All three trials we took that were listed a 4 miles plus dead-end at a body of water (the river) after 20 minutes of walking. Update your trail maps and signage please.

I always appreciate a great trail and the outdoors are my church where I can commune with the universe. That being said, this is the first trail I have ever rated less than 4 stars. Perhaps it deserves 4 rather than 3, but I am a bit irritable today so I’m going with 3. First, I was not happy with the state of the parking lot. There were big piles of wood chips all over and in general the place looked uncared for. Second, the map sign was poorly marked, not adequately indicating the trail, leaving us to wander around for a good half hour before finding our way. At one point, the signage led us in a circle, at another, straight into the river. (Go to the left, trust me). Signage is critical as there is no cell phone reception in the parking lot (fun fact: I once read that route signage designers (like in an airport) have the most under appreciated job — not by me, I’ll tell you that!!). Third, the bathrooms were closed. ? . Fourth, the trail itself was kind of boring and for most of the three hour hike we could hear obnoxious alpha males rev their engines on the road nearby. The one upside (both literally and figuratively) is the workout you will get ... we did a 6 mile round trip hike and my jams are burning!

Took a short route so it was a breezy walk for the kids. Muddy and no signs of wildlife, but great spot for kids to enjoy being outside while learning teamwork and critical thinking.

My family and I hunt for little gems like this when we can. 2/19/20 we found this one. It is one of the most beautiful areas we have seen. Such a quiet place that we stopped just to listen to the nothing. We have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. Trail is NOT stroller friendly. We like the torture I guess. I'm feeling it now but well worth it. Can't wait to pick this area apart. Please, don't leave your trash, including your dogs biodegradable poop bag.
