M ThompsonThis trip to the area involved a 15 mile bike ride down the trail. It was a hot sunny day but the tree covered Trail was cool and somewhat comfortable. I found it interesting I saw 12 Turtles an otter, two snakes, a hawk and 10,000 squirrels. From what I read the trail is 28 miles with only one small Bend. Trail is also extremely flat. If you're looking for Hills or a interval high intensity workout this wasn't it. This was a good workout with a steady pace, no cars or cross traffic to worry about and very few other people.

Maria QuivocateAmazing place to be with Nature. This is a conservation area, so plenty of wildlife, wild bears, snakes, birds and occasional coyote. Definately don't want to get stranded out here by yourself! Come with a group, pack a wildlife bag and enjoy the trails!

ChrisWalked the South Loop. Didn't see anyone on the trail and the trail looked like it gets very little traffic. The best part of the trail is walking the path next to the river - I was surprised the trail didn't have more traffic on the paths.

greg crewsThis is definitely a peaceful place to go. You don’t have to worry about the dogs running around here as much. Most people I have met here are pretty respect for a responsible. Taking my kids back here soon so they can learn the tree life.

Aaron T.The Richloam trail provides for a peaceful walk through some beautiful woods if you're willing to make the trek. I managed to walk four miles of the North loop before running out of daylight and having to return the way I came and after looking at a map it appeared I had only gone about a third of the way around the loop so make sure you bring everything you need as the trail is quite long. The majority of the trail is shaded by the trees and there is plenty of wildlife if you pay attention so I'd definitely recommend visiting this trail if you're in the area. Just make sure to wear some boots or something you don't mind getting wet as there was some pretty deep mud near the beginning of the trail.
