Lee S. Jones Multi Use Trail

The Hammond Creek Trail System at Lee S Jones Park is a wonderland of surprises. This multi-use trail is great for mountain biking, nature photography, cross country/trail running, orienteering, and picnicking. Pros: -Ample parking at the trailhead, with a pavillion for setting up a picnic or party -Short distance to well-maintained bathroom near the concession stand between fields 1&2 -Playground, baseball and soccer fields, and dog park for kiddos and pets. Cons: -Extremely easy to get lost, even with the map downloaded. Some of the mtb trails lead across Hammond Creek, so keep an eye on which trails you choose. -Muddy conditions after rain and lots of roots— mind your step! -Trail often runs next to roads, so be prepared for the musical stylings of passing traffic. There are many multi-use trails with varying distances marked by different color-coded trail blazes attached to trees. There are several map guides aprinkked throughout the trail system, but definitely download the map for this area! The current map does not reflect all of the trails offered here, so consider tracking yours to the app!

Tried out the green, blue, red, and orange/black trails today. Blue was the most engaging and fun, as it is follows a Hammond Creek bed. The trail blazes (markers) felt like a scavenger hunt, and the views were beautiful. Green is the shortest and best maintained of all the options, great for kiddos and beginner hikers! Red and Orange/Black are longer hauls. Make sure to bring plenty of water and snacks for those! May encounter multiple creek crossing where you have to walk ovee or crawl on a log to continue the trail!
