Description

If you're parked at the National Park lots, you have two options to get downtown: bus or run. So if you are up for an extra two miles each way, this trail is a great option.

You'll exit the parking lots on the south side and go down a fairly steep section onto Shoreline Dr. Once there, it's just a nice, flat run along the river to get downtown.

Flora & Fauna

Poplars, oaks, maples and pines. Not too much in wildflowers. Birds.
