This short, mainly unshaded trail begins at the visitor center and moves northeast over the Addison Canal. There are a number of overlooks along the trail that allow hikers to look down over the canal. Then, the trail turns south and crosses a bridge over the canal before connecting to the Biodiversity Loop Trail, which enables hikers to loop back west to the visitor center.
