Great paved and divided path. Some shade depending on the time of the day. CON: unmarked and there are a lot of side paths that you could take; thus, for someone like me visiting for the first time it is confusing to know exactly what path to stay on.

I loved being able to walk and get the miles and steps in without feeling like I was going around in circles. Beautiful view. Lots of shade in some areas. Bathroom accessible.
