Rasmussen Park Trails
Rasmussen Park Trails
This is part of the Pine Hill Preserve's Cameron Park Unit. Features a pond, some forest and grassland. Park in the Rasmussen Park lot, then walk the loop trail to the back of the park. There are two openings in the fence near the back left corner offering ways into preserve.
Here's a 2.5 mile loop option featuring a pond: https://www.ramblr.com/web/mymap/trip/465099/1925275/ . That whole section is apparently not actually in the preserve and is in danger of being sold and developed, please see https://rescuerasmussenpond.com/ to learn how to help save it.
You can also make this into an 8.4 mile route: https://www.ramblr.com/web/mymap/trip/465099/1494432/ . Note the 8.4 mile route requires going onto sidewalks for a little bit until the proper trail resumes on the other side of Meder Road, but it pays off with some outstanding views when you get to the ridge top.

Comments on Rasmussen Park Trails
Not an enjoyable park anymore. Too many kids on their mini motorbikes that are not even allowed at the park. I had six almost run myself and my dog off of the trail. Absolutely unsafe.
