Coppiced wooded trail at the Parklands of Floyd's Fork

Today we did the Coppiced Woods Trail at the Parklands of Floyd's fork which was a total of 1.87 miles. We had a crew today of 5 kids 12, 10, 5, 5 and a 9 wk old baby!  The trail was a little steep at times and is also a mountain biking trail so there was that to look out for as well. Overall we had a blast. It was maybe a smidge long for the first hike of the year. The trail was very clearly marked and very nicely maintained. Definitely easy to navigate. The trail begins near the Shelbyville Rd entrance and was super easy to find. 

Here we go! For the record the moby wrap gets sweaty fast. And we need to come up w a better water bottle system because I can't wear the camelback and a baby! 
This was everyone's favorite part for sure about .25miles in. 



Everyone's second favorite part our troll bridge a great break spot about at .6 miles. 


Always a favorite, a hole in a tree. 


Tough like Bear Gryllis, we found some dead squirrel parts along the trail. Of course we had to stare at them a little too long. :)


At the end a fancy drainage ditch.
