This handicap accessible trail winds through many habitats, with interpretive signs. This trail traverses a beech-maple forest, a fen, swamp, and overlooks a pond. The diversity of habitats makes this an excellent trail to spot wildlife. You might hear deer crashing through the woods, see water snakes swimming in Trout Run Stream, or find dragonflies patrolling the pond. Bird watching opportunities abound.
