About This Trail

Imported description

The Pisgah Hill Preserve's trail is a quiet escape from the city. The trail is marked by markers. The parking lot at the edge of the road leads to a field at the end of it. The trail splits into two directions after it drops to a bridge across a stream. You should use exposed ledges instead of hiking on delicate mosses. The Pisgah Hill summit and ridgeline provide scenic views, small old quarries, mixed forests, and beautiful ground cover of lichen and mosses. The Preserve provides habitat for a number of animals.
