About This Trail

Imported description

There are several miles of natural surface trails that make a series of loops in the park. The greenway trail is parallel to the mowed meadow trail. You can go to the eastern boat dock from the spur trail in the middle of the meadow. It is a great habitat for a variety of birds. The trail goes into the forest from the southernmost parking area. The path skirts the shoreline and offers several spurs to the bank of the river. This trail can be used to return through the woods.
