About This Trail

Imported description

Fantastic family friendly hike. The trail starts behind the Nature Center. The first half is fairly flat but there is a slight incline towards the end. It could be difficult for an adult to take a toddler. You will be sharing the trail with horses and there are road apples everywhere so you should watch out for your footing. There are multiple chairs that are just for listening to birds. There are lots of birds and bunnies.
