Yes, ticks are fierce in the tall grass in that area. Our hiking group hiked the "Brook Walk" and "Shannon Brook Trail" a few weeks ago and one of our members found 5 ticks on her socks when we finished the hike. Another member of our group found a tick attached to his belly when he got back home. So all hikers in that area should be very alert to the abundance of ticks and check themselves frequently during and after all hikes. I'd advise every hiker to use a good insect repellent.
