Stroud Preserve consists of 571 acres of culturally and ecologically important land in Chester County. This rolling mosaic of once-pastured grasslands, working farmlands, and woodlands now serves as wildlife habitat and a unique site for research.

The entrance to this trail can be found along Creek Road where there is a small parking area and an information kiosk with information about the other trails available on the preserve.

This trail takes you over a small stone bridge and through the preserve through wetlands and forest. It is well maintained with beautiful views of the area.

Meadows filled with native grasses such as purpletop, switchgrass, and big bluestem, and wildflowers such as ironweed, goldenrod, and milkweed. Woodlands dominated by red oak, tuliptree, beech, and maple.
