Description

This easy (though not absolutely flat), shady trail circles an overgrown pond. Interpretive signs speak of the springs and beavers that formed the wetlands. Well-placed benches offer peaceful opportunities for viewing, contemplating or reading.

Flora & Fauna

Large bigleaf maples provide homes for luxurious mosses, lichens, ferns, birds and bats. Typical Pacific Northwest natives too numerous to name include red alder, sword fern, and Oregon grape. Beavers built these wetlands and it sounds as though they remain in the area.
