One Way Only: This is designated as a directional trail.

Need to Know

Access is through the Heard Museum, and the fee is $10.

Description

The first half of the trail is shaded, running through the woods. The second half runs along a tallgrass prairie that is being restored with native plants. The path is in good shape, mostly crushed granite, and the inclined parts of the path have short steps. There are three paths that intersect, so watch the signs to stay on the right one.

Flora & Fauna

Native plants, both forest and meadow. Birds, small animals, maybe deer.
