If you go up the hill trail and take the first set of trails off to your right, you will come out on a nice ledge overlooking Bull Creek with an amazing view!
Great hike, great scenery and wildlife

Took this one with my wife and a good friend. I think we saw 5 other people actually once we got on the trails. We did the loop and several side trails combining in some of the creek trail to show my wife some waterfalls. We took off into the woods on a side journey as well. We saw a family of armadillos as we were finishing our walk. This was a very nice day.

There are more trails in this area that I could have imagined. No matter what direction I was going, it seemed there were always at least two parallel trails going in a similar direction. I considered it a personal victory that I was able to hike around the hill in a big loop without having to backtrack. It''ll take me several visits to be remotely sure of where I''m going on these trails. The initial crossing of bull creek was rather precarious as well. There was the theoretical "dry" crossing on rocks but half of them were submerged when I was there. There was also a dam upstream a bit that looked like it was also used as a crossing. I ended up trying both and came to the conclusion that the best idea for personal safety was just stomping through the water and not worrying about the "crossings". At any rate, this is a nice area I''ll have to explore in more detail later.

Had a great time and the views were fantastic! Hiked with my 9 month son in a backpack, could have used a hiking stick.

Have been looking forward to this one and was well rewarded today! It was bigger than I originally thought and followed some other trails after doing the main one as portrayed on the above map. It was very secluded but I did come across about 8 people throughout the 2 hour hike. Saw some swimmers on the other end of the park that isn't on the map...they were having too much fun to notice me! I will definitely be back to finish and see more of this place...very well worth it!
Short, but somewhat challenging

Although only a couple of miles in length and only about 300 feet of climbing, the climbing seems to come in waves instead of in minor dips and peaks along the way. So by the time you get to the top you may be a little short of breath. The best part of the hike are the views overlooking the rest of the park along Bull Creek. Those could be enjoyed without making the trip to the top.
