Description [Suggest Changes]

This trail begins at the bottom of the paved road if you have parked at the visitor center. It shortly turns to boardwalk, and you'll find several birding huts along the trail next to the lake. Watch out for wildflowers and other wildlife along this trail, and who knows what you'll find! At the end of the trail you'll see Marsh Road that, if you take a left, will lead you back to where you started!
