Sam Owen Trail #4

The first 1/2 mile of this trail has a hardened surface that is suitable for wheelchairs and strollers. The hardened trail ends at a beautiful vista of Owens Bay and the benches offer a nice place to sit and enjoy the view.

The remaining 1/2 mile of trail is native surface, narrow and not suitable for wheelchairs or strollers. The entire trail is a nice loop. Wildflowers abound in the spring and there is always a chance of seeing deer. This is a great hike for a family with small children.
