Description

The trail has many offshoots which take you through wetlands and hilly forest areas. The pond is quite lovely. A picnic spot and educational signs about the ecology of the area make this a fun experience for visitors. Pets are permitted. Most of the trail is wooded and flat, with one small dip down and back up a very small hill at the dam.
