Bailey Road.
This 0.4-mile trail is what you walk when you need 20 minutes in the woods, not an expedition. Bailey Road won't give you views or test your lungs, but it will get you out of the car and onto dirt without the commitment of a real hike. Think of it as a leg-stretcher or a dog walk with a trailhead sign.
- Leg-stretcherShort and nearly flat — an hour or less
- Peak foliage window — color starts up high and works down the valleys through mid-October.
