Dog Hiking Trails

Come hike 63+ acres of land with trails throughout at our future homestead! The first 20 acres is grassland with multiple mowed trails. The back 43+ is wooded with one main trail circling through it and two entrance/exits. The brown “Trail Entrance” signs mark the woods. There is wetland off trail throughout the property, but mostly in the woods with a large one in the center of the trail. Water levels will vary. The trails are used for ATV’ing but make for a great hike! Plan for a picnic…we have a platform with a picnic table and garbage can available. A beautiful & peaceful spot! Note: The large pond outside the trail at the back of the property in the woods is not ours but marks the back end of our property shown on the aerial view photo. A sign will be posted in the near future to mark it. The woods trail runs along the border of it. It’s a steep drop to the pond. There’s a house on the other side of it. This is an area you’ll hear people & other noises if they’re outside. If you see orange hunter tape in the woods and t-posts randomly in the grassland, don’t worry, those are ours to mark the trails so we don’t lose them in the Fall & Spring. *No well or city water access at this time* It’s vacant land we use recreationally right now. :)
