Q:
I was hiking here the other day for about 3 hours, and it looked like a great place to do some trail running; however, there are signs every where saying not to run. Does anyone actually enforce this or care? I don’t see how running is any different than hiking.

I’m not 100% sure, but I agree with the other comments about the wildlife. I no longer live there, so I’m not about sure what the rules are about running. We did see deer and turkey right off the trail when we were there in July, so I’m sure that is why you can’t run.

Q:
Hello! We are planning to go next week with our 5 year old and I see their office is closed on Tuesdays. Anyone have a trail recommendation that we can do round trip in 2 hours or less? Our little one is very active and has been hiking with us since she was 2 so even if there is a shorter moderate hike that we can do in 2 hours we are open to it! :)
A:
I'm not 100% sure, you might be able to do the lake trail in 2 hours or less.

The. trails aren't really. There is a paved not quite throughway, mostly for rangers use (and people with handicapped plates)... and there is the spillway, which isn't a "road," but the ground is hard enough a wheelchair could traverse it. The spillway leads to a small house, a little bit of seating on the edge of the lake and a bridge over the falls. Those things seem pretty accessible (the house has stairs up to its porch). The other paths are covered with chipped wood, in some places gravel and where there is less traffic, dirt that's firm from being traversed.
