Arnold L. Muldoon Park Loop

The feel

This is a short, easy wooded loop in a neighborhood park off Northern Lights Blvd, across from Carrs. A dedicated loop of exercise stations runs along the trail, and there is a picnic table at the park.

The trail is 4 to 8 ft wide, mixes asphalt with sand and dirt, and has a lot of shade. Moose are occasionally in the area. The loop connects to the paved Chester Creek trail and the Russian Jack Springs trail system.
