An hour drive south of town, but totally worth it for the long scenic and seemingly unending trails. Washington county does an excellent job at marking their trails and posting maps periodically along the trails, and it makes all the difference being able to have a visual reference no matter where you end up. The only caveat to this park that I would note, is that this is primarily used for horseback riding, and they tend to compact the mud in the center of the trails, then rain erodes down the path, making it kind of hard to walk as easily as other parks. When you reach the end of Fir ave, turn left, the road isn't marked adequately.
