Temp started at 46, ended at 64.  Sunny with 0-5mph NNE breeze.

Easy hike along damp, slightly muddy trails.  Deer hunting is on-going at the North Shore of the park which means 2/3 of the park is closed to hiking/biking.

Not much activity from the park residents for the majority of the hike. There were a lot more people using the park today (Saturday) in part due to a break in the inclement weather we've had as well as the inclement weather we'll soon receive.  A couple of mountain bikers were out but there were quite a few hikers and trail runners I shared the trails with today.
