One of the key aspects to keep in mind is that the trails might be free, but parking isn’t. On average visitors can expect to pay $7 for daily parking, which is done by pay-by-phone payments.
Since the area tends to flood easily, we recommend avoiding the trails during rainy weather or just after heavy rains. This will not only keep you and your bike safe, but you’ll also preserve trail conditions. When the weather allows, these trails provide the perfect opportunity for some excellent rides!
