#1 - Glenview Woods Trail

Length: 4.6 milesEst. Time: 1h3m
Beautiful trails to choose from both terrain and paved ones. Paved trails are on the main road side but the terrain type run right next to it. There are more trails across the river that can be accessed via a bridge. Some muddy parts after recent rains so wear good shoes. Plenty of ports potties and regular restrooms with water fountains. People ride horses on these trails as well from the nearby pony rides place. The main Trail is long so it’s good for biking and running.
