The loop is comprised of two trails; the Spadra and the Scout.
YouTube/Happy Trails: Spadra Creek Nature Trail Scout Trail The Spadra Trail is paved and the Scout is not. Both are lovely strolls without much elevation gain. Together the trails are 2.6-miles long.
It may not be a heart-pounding whitewater raft or miles-high rock climb but this whimsical trail will be a family favorite.
