Interpretive
Trail
·
The Main
Path is a circuit of easy walking, easy to follow loops through the
gardens and around the black water swamp where you can observe a
variety of wildlife and plants from benches, bridges, and platforms.
Or you can venture deeper into nature on one of three other trails ·
The North
Nature Trail begins at the boardwalk near the picnic area. You will
follow this narrow footpath over tangled roots, across wooden
planks, through dense woods and swamp. ·
The South
Nature Trail begins near the green bridge at the far end of the Main
Path. You will cross footbridges and follow a narrow dike through
woods and wetland that provide habitat for turtles, birds, and lush
vegetation. ·
The
Perimeter Trail connects near both ends of the Southern Nature Trail.
Follow this narrow, less-traveled, adventurous trail through
rhododendron, pine, and remote swamp, for a closer encounter with
nature. Remember to

wildlife. Restrooms, water, and picnic areas are located near the gift
