The trail is about 1 and 1/2 mi long and it is one large loop. The scenery is gorgeous. Dogs and bikes are allowed. There's also a nature observation deck with a gorgeous view of the lake and lots of bird feeders. There always about 8 to 10 people on the trail. But there is plenty of room for you to pass.
- Trail condition: Good condition
- Shade level: Mostly shaded
- Parking options: Free parking lot
Great walking trail!
I stop here all the time to eat my lunch while at work. Does anyone know if you are allowed to fish in the pond?
hi Michael. We're so happy to know you are enjoying the park! Fishing is not permitted at Char-Mar Ridge Park. We do have fishing without a license available at Hickory Woods Park and Blues Creek Park.
Love this park. Always a well maintained trail. Its a good workout with the elevation changes.
