Leg 1 -  Playground parking area > Chaparral > Talley Valley > Horny Toad > Nature Trail > Lanky Lackey > WS to LL Connector > Burkett park     3.1 miles

Leg 2 -  Burkett Park > Winding Snake > Chaparral > Playground parking area   2.7 miles

Temp started at 44, ended at 54.  Overcast, damp with 0-5mph NE breeze.  Later, a little more sun with 5-15mph NE wind.

A very nice, easy hike along damp trails that were easy to see and traverse.  Hunting was going on along the park Mid and North sections so I saw quite a few deer in the South Shore "sanctuary".  Unfortunately there were no other animals present and not many birds either.  Not much to report.

NOTES -

Water, shade, info kiosk, toilets and a bicycle repair station are available at the Playground parking area.

Water, shade, info kiosk and dry toilets available at Burkett Park.  EQUESTRIANS - the horse trough only has rain water in it but a water hose is available.
