Some rooty sections...be careful.

Description

Start at the picnic parking area and follow a gravel path down to the main tread. Shortly after descending the gravel path, look for a narrow trail to your left. Ascend the hill and cross the road to continue; after a short up and down, you’ll arrive at the Nature Center parking area.

Flora & Fauna

Hardwoods, ivy, and too many others to list can be found in this preserve. For more information, stop into the Nature Center.
