Description
A figure of eight track which covers all of the area. A very easy track for beginners and one for the children too.
Start at the dirt mound and follow the outside track till you reach a bridge. Take the track to the right before the bridge and follow track over a boardwalk. You will end back on the track you were just on. Stay on this track and turn left when you get to the pond. Follow the track past the pond and then follow the outside track until you reach the bridge again.
Just before the bridge, turn left and follow the track past the pond. Follow the track around the outside of the area and this time cross the bridge and keep following the outside path. When you reach the pond turn left and follow the track around the pond and you will be back at the beginning. If you want some elevation you can go up the dirt mound. You may choose to extend or change the route to suit you.
