Reviewed by CLN on 7/17/2009 Peavy has all sorts of trails for all sorts of experiences. I would come here for trail running, hiking, and dog walking, and exploring... no matter what I wanted to do, Peavy had the trails for it. There is a small lake near an old rock quarry where you can watch salamanders. There is also another lake by the OSU logging competition yard. Several historic signs point out CCC sites. You can pick and choose your experience - whether you want to see an old growth forest, an overview, an uphill hike, a fast singletrack mountain bike along logging roads, or just a winding forest trail to jog. 
Reviewed by Brian on 2/28/2007 it was nice for how close to the city it is, if you just want a hike outside but don't want to go far it is nice. not to hard to complete.
