Description
The trail is just under 4 miles long and leads you through diverse natural landscapes. It winds through dense forests of oak and hickory trees, providing a much-needed shaded canopy during warmer months. The trail is well-maintained and marked, making it easy to navigate.
One of the highlights of the Huckleberry Trail is the picturesque Lake Bennett. The trail takes you along the shoreline, offering stunning views of the peaceful lake. It's a great spot to pause and take in the scenery or have a tranquil picnic.
Along the way, you'll also encounter wildflowers and native plants that add splashes of colour to the surrounding greenery. Keep an eye out for wildlife too, as the park is known for its diverse bird species and you might get lucky and see deer or other animals.
