Another somewhat hidden but excellent hike. It has a path that at one point connects to Kenealy, a bonus if you want to make it a very long hike. Also near that point you can cross Youngs Ford Rd. to get to Ashburn Field, which has a playground. Lots of streams, pretty trees and so many rocks. Can be a tough hike at times but our 5 year old managed fine, for reference.
Good light-mode walking trails.
Easy to navigate trails. They’re safe and well maintained every time we go. Parking is easy if you park on Henry lane, though it can be hard when it’s busy on the weekends. Bring bugspray and stay on the trail the whole time. There is some poison ivy so don’t wander in the uncleared parts.
Henry Lane Park is a 22 acre natural park that provides trails for hiking and horseback riding. The park connects by an unnamed trail to the trails in Natural Lands Trust Saunder's Woods. Part of the trail that shows up on Google and appears to connect to Ashburn Field is cut off by a gate to the entrance of the Henry Botanical Garden. The trail off the northeast corner of the park connects to the Bridlewild Trail to the Kenealy Nature Park.
Fantastic if you like creeks but it can get muddy pretty easily. Although I'm very attached to this area I have to rate three stars because of the lack of trail maintenance
Beautiful hike, well maintained, varied terrain.
Worth the walk, good weather. Note, parking, street, street parking can be unnecessarily stressful.
