  walking journey? You’re not alone! Many feel that it might be too far o
 r too difficult\, especially if stamina is a concern. But here’s the goo
 d news: these wide trails are designed with you in mind! With NO inclines 
 and some shaded spots\, plenty of stops\, several benches if needed. We wi
 ll do a 0.5 mile loop incorporating the first two of four bridges and grea
 t views of the ponds\, returning to close to the parking lot. For those wi
 lling and able to continue\, we will turn back and go to the third bridge 
 and back for a 1.5 mile total walk.  Note this second optional leg is lon
 ger than we have been doing on these gentle walks up to now.  However\, t
 here is no pressure to do the second loop. Great opportunity for anyone re
 covering from an injury or long lay-off from walking to get back in the sw
 ing.\n\nWe go at a very relaxed pace\, taking frequent breaks to catch our
  breath and enjoy the scenery.  So\, what are you waiting for? Step outs
