The trail affords you scenic views of Village Creek. Swimming (at your own risk) is permitted. (Photo by Blaze)

The signage in this park is very good. In addition to color coded pole markers, there are direction/distance signs, too. (Photo by Blaze)

This is the trailhead to the "dark green" color-coded trail. I saw a bobcat along this trail. (Photo by Blaze)

It had rained the night before so it was very humid. Lots of mosquitoes.

Village Creek State Park is a nice, well-maintained park with a number of hiking/biking trails running through it in a "tangled mess." The signage is excellent. Each trail is color-coded and there are direction/distance signs posted at the trail intersections.

The trails take you through some forested areas and along Village Creek. To my surprise, I saw a bobcat. It was my first time seeing one, but I didn't get a good look at it because he took off running away at high speed. It was fairly close to the park HQs building, so I had my doubts. I thought perhaps it was just a large, muscular cat, lol, but when I talked to the ranger he verified he, too, had seen bobcats in the park.

It was a little wet due to heavy rains and not all trails were open, but the day was fun
