TrailMap

Description: From the parking area, walk up an embankment to the playground. At the north end of the soccer field you will see the trailhead for this short, easy walking, and widely diverse trail, where you will hear a variety of birds, and may see lizards, deer, fox, and turtles. After a short walk through a wooded area, you will enter an open space with a series of fitness stations around its circumference. If you enter this area and walk in a clockwise direction you will come to a kiosk and shortly thereafter a gate for the nature trail. After you cross a short boardwalk there is a junction where you can go straight or to the left. The straight section is a rising out and back, which stops at a service road. Go to the left and you will come to a wetlands area where the terrain changes dramatically and you will enter a swamp like area. Be aware that this area can be wet and the large tree roots make walking a challenge, but it is only a short distance back to the fitness area.
