Description

This trail has a couple alternate connectors you can take, and also joins up with the Beaver Lodge Trail and nearby Inner Wetland Trail. There is one short uphill just after taking the sharp left, but otherwise it's mostly gentle rolling hills from start to finish.

Flora & Fauna

Great views of prairies in the process of being restored to what they once were. The habitat is perfect for blue jays, deer, and many small varmints dart in and out of the high grasses.
