Itinerary:
This one of the metro area's better county parks, yet many people are not aware of it. We will hike from 4-7 miles depending on the weather and the mood of the group. There are no climbs of more than 350 feet or so.

This is a nice park with some scenic views of the distant Blue Ridge mountains to the North (when the skies are clear). All of the trails are well graded with relatively even terrain. There are a couple of good steep sections though that will get your heart rate up.
