Very chill, aesthetically pleasing, paved, destination to get a good walk in. One thing to note if you start on this side, it starts with a pretty big downhill, which means on the way back will be a decent uphill. Nothing too difficult but just be aware it's not a completely flat walk. The views are great, the road is wide, you get some great tree cover in some parts and views of the water on other parts. And there's plenty of parking at the beginning on the street.
