Family Friendly This is a very flat trail with so much to see. Add it to your visit to the park and see how the landscape changes away from the Redwood Creek Trail.

Description

Coming off of the Redwood Creek Trail it seems like you'll be hiking through the past. The lush forest and ferns growing off the side of Fern Creek makes one think of prehistoric times. This is a relatively flat trail meandering just like the creek. Watch the landscape change as you move away from the main trail.
