👍👍 This place is an absolute delight! I went around 12:30pm on a Tuesday afternoon, so it was very nice and quiet as it was only my friend and I.

There is unnamed trail which runs from Huntington trail at the German Mills Creek, along the east side of the creek, to Green Line. The northern part of the trail was more sceneric than the southern...
