This mile-long loop takes about 45 minutes and highlights the wildlife and other natural features of the northwoods. Every year since 1990, a pair of these aerial hunters have returned to the park to stake out a territory. The Peregrine Falcon males and females share nesting duties and feed their young frequently to avoid dehydration. The Peregrines begin nesting in April, eggs are laid in mid-May, and the young are born approximately 33 days later. They are protected by both the state and the federal government as an endangered species.
Penalties are severe.
