To the west, a ribbon of woods and meadows initially hides the vast Pymatuning Swamp from view. Eventually, these woods thin and several fine views are afforded of this water and grass expanse. Proceeding to the Hartstown end, the mixture of woods and water reveals its rich natural wealth in an abundance and variety of plant and animal species. At about the mid-point of the trail, the PA Game Commission has mowed paths into the adjacent brush and meadow giving easy access to those who want to explore a bit. Fisherman can cast the waters for bream and bass.
Hunters can pursue deer, grouse, turkey and, of course, waterfowl.
For the birder, this is something of a paradise. There are many great trails in sideroads country. We would certainly rank this as one of the most scenic and interesting.
