  • Be sure bring dry shoes and a change of clothes. Vehicle runs will be made to start after circle.
  • This is a $10 trail because the hares are providing you trail and brunch.
  • Trail ends at a farm and winery which is where brunch will be. The $10 does NOT include the price for wine tasting.  Wine tasting is an additional $10, which gets you samplings of five different wines and chocolates to pair the wine with. All wines will be available to purchase from the winery
  • The farm that trail is ending at, also runs a market which sells fresh grass fed beef, pork, goat cheese, fruits, vegetables, you get the idea.
