Walking trails traverse the property. The woodland trail is approximately .75 miles long. The perimeter trail, which circles the woodland and field, is approximately 1.5 miles long. Trail surfaces are chipped bark and gravel. Witch hazel shrubs bloom in the woods during the winter.
Wildflowers begin to emerge in the hardwood forest in late winter.
Fourteen-acre Lake Katharine was constructed in the early twentieth century. The lake began to fill with silt and sediment shortly after it was built. Now the lakebed is almost completely filled in. A dam at the west end prevents return to its natural state of wooded hillside and free-flowing streams. Two streams still flow through the area and the water level rises following rainy periods, thus creating an artificial wetland supporting resident wildlife and migratory birds.
