About This Trail

Imported description
As you circle this preserve, bring your binoculars and watch closely for birds, animals and plants. A well-defined path is followed through the woods showing a variety of plants and trees. The wooded area eventually gives way to wetlands and a lake. The path becomes a boardwalk around the lake.
