We love visiting cedar ridge and hiking the trails. It is beautifully maintained, lots of different trails that interconnect so you can tailor your hike to the difficulty/length you want, and everyone is really friendly. Lots of people hiking with their families and pooches, and it also is very safe for solo hikers as well. In the spring they have loads of wildflowers for all your family photo needs, and lots of vistas and overlooks to enjoy the scenery. There's also a pond with fish, turtles and frogs. Bring your lunch and picnic, spend the day or just an hour. Definitely worth the trip - you're basically utilizing the Cedar Hill State Park area without paying the fee. Only downside is sometimes parking can be a challenge, but that's minor in my book.
