About This Trail

Imported description

The.75-mile trail at the lake spans a forest and hills. The preserve's focal point is its floating bog, which is home to a variety of plants. The first mile was rated easy and it was a boardwalk that guided you to the floating bog and the rare tree community. It's possible to loop through oak studded peaks and Lowland forests that support ephemeral pools most of the year.
