This easy walking trail system offers a peaceful experience for hikers of all skill levels. The trails begin at the parking lot next to the trailhead kiosk, and pass through varying forest with hemlock, white pine, birch, and maple. They follow wandering paths over packed dirt with slight ups and downs along the natural contours of the landscape. The trails are not flat from the start so please use caution as you get to know them.
There are optional loops and out-and-backs, please consult the map. Be sure to keep an eye out for wildlife as you approach the wetland areas with bog bridges.
A nature hut at the center of the trail system provides information about local wildlife, a place to rest and enjoy a snack, and a guest book to sign. The access trail to the nature hut is perfect for a morning walk, quick afternoon trail-run, or a family outing.
