Begin this short, level, easy-walking nature trail at the sign near the Powder Magazine site. Watch for a variety of birds, snakes and other wildlife as you enter the gate, pass a quiet pond, and walk amid oak, sweet gum and pine trees. You will wind back along a stream, and exit at the gate on the far side of the powder magazine. You can extend your hike on the dirt drive through the Revolutionary War site that features reconstructions, including palisade fortifications, and the Kershaw house that headquartered the British during their occupation of the patriot town. You can take a free self-guided tour of the Bradley and Drakeford Houses that display period artifacts and historic exhibits. A brochure is also available, which shows a walking tour to various historic sites within the park and city of Camden.
