    The Captain Woods Walk is a fantastic short stroll for families with younger children and dogs looking for an escape from the city! While there are some undulations, the elevation gain remains relatively low, making this a suitable adventure for all fitness levels. Enjoy dipping in and out of the woods and charming fields.
