On my day off my daughter and I went hiking at Northwest. She is my hiking partner and it allows quality mother daughter time. She is great company but the downside is the fact that at 40 a 10yr old can run you damn near to death which she was working on when we head back to the car. Definitely going to have to work on pacing the hike.
There are only 3 hiking only trails Indian Creek, Otter and Wood Duck of the three is the longest at 2.5 miles. Together all three make a 5 mile hike. The trail it self has as many tree roots sticking up as it does trees so the right footwear is a must.
There are plenty of trees to see on the trails as well as fallen ones not much as far as scenery goes until you reach the end of Indian Creek Trail. A beautiful view of the lake with it's glass like appearance.
It makes the trip worth it to see as well as hear the dragon fly's buzz around your head and land at your feet. My daughter enjoyed that the most because of the jeweled colors they come in.
This a good trail to start on when you are a hiking beginner just don't be over 5'5 because the trails don't seem to be used much and the idea if getting a spider web in the face is just freaky.
