Comments: The North Star greenbelt confused me today - the sign at Bittern Hollow says Gracywoods Park - Bittern Hollow, leading to my confusion.

This park has a nice, concrete paved trail that follows a large powerline for at least part of the trail. One nice feature about this trail is that there are plenty of park benches with shade. Rather than just being a straight path, the path does wind from side to side down the powerline easement, usually going behind homes.

This is definitely not worth a very far drive, but it is a nice walk if the ground is muddy and you live in the area. I will return to hike the entire trail in the future.
