Trail Description:
Shoreline Trail is an easy hike that covers most of the waterfront area
of the park and is fairly level. It passes one marsh, but for the most part
this 3 mile trail is Oak woodland. Few flowering plants were seen at this
time of year, but the vistas were worthwhile. There are three overlooks
perfect for picnicking, or have a picnic at the 'Village' and look over the
museum and other sights afterwards.
Trail Location:
The main entrance to the park is on the
north end. Shoreline trail starts at the South end of the parking lot. You
can also park on the side of the road and save yourself $3, but there is no
toilet.
