Runner Notes

Good flat trail

Description

You can meet the trail from two spots off of the Orange Trail.

Compared to the other trails, this trail can be a little more overgrown. The other side of that equation is that you are able to find a little more solitude as the trail rolls pleasantly through thick forest. Some of the lower sections that go through intermittent wetlands are protected with boardwalk.

Flora & Fauna

Lots of Eastern Cedar
