Here are some reviews
Terrific trek around the Bare Cove property. Parked in front of the Railroad Clubhouse then went south and did a loop there. I missed some of the river area but encourage others to wander beyond the main paved path and get on the trails. I continued up to the north and really enjoyed the River views and the interpretive signage and memorials which speak to the use of the area by the Navy and Marines. Pretty cool stuff. Went up to the bridge and noticed a huge “fish boil” out in the river. Somebody was getting a good breakfast! Continued back around, off road, following the river then back to the parking lot. A wonderful property!
Love this pretty little gem of a park. Great for short to medium bike rides. It has a lot of paved path plus some dirt paths which I can manage most of on my old lady bike. I can get 10 miles out of here if I loop around all the paths twice. Some hills provide a challenge. Lots of dogs here as well I wouldn’t call it a dog park but it’s dog friendly for sure. Plenty of parking in two different lots. One is right off of 3a.
Serene, and with a wide path… . The tree-lined asphalt takes you around a few small lakes and waterways, making for a duck sighting or a scampering chipmunk. Or a kid on a bike! Cute.
We took the 3.1 mile mostly paved Bare Cove Path loop, which took us by the water for a good mile of it. Lots of dogs, strollers, bikes, runners.
