I walk/hike there at least once a week. Families are always there enjoying the grounds, the stream. Lots of dog-walkers. You can continue up the road which is restricted to foot/bike travel. Feel safe and there are always people around....safe.

Started this hike at noon on a Friday. Of course I got a little lost trying to find the entrance but it's behind a closed off parking lot (at least closed on 11/6) so you walk up maybe 5-10 min to the start of the trail. The ascent was actually pretty steep but great views along the way. It took me 2 hours to get to the top for a view of the lake. I went around to see the other lakes and thought I could do a quick loop but ended up giving up and making my own path back to the first lake to start heading back down. I spent about an hour at the top trying to do this loop around the second lake. The way down is always easier for me so it only took me an hour from when I started going back but I was speed walking the whole way down. Total time was ~4 hrs but that's because of the 45 min to an hour I spent at the top. I thought the trail was pretty packed for a Friday, probably saw 30 or so people. Also, there was a Moose just sitting on the side of the trail, it was there when I went up and 2 hours later when I came back, so that was a highlight. It says moderate on alltrails and it was a pretty good effort to get up.
