Thick, medium height grass and weeds choke portions of the trail.

Description

Trail edges are generally marked with rotten logs. Several markers note site where the rare Indiana bat has been found. I would advise against disturbing any nesting sites here. Be prepared to spend several minutes picking seeds from clothing after finishing this trail as portions of it are choked with beggar's lice (Hackelia virginiana).
