Description

This is one of many well-marked dirt trails that make up the Forest Park Nature Center. The trail travels beneath the forest canopy, which is largely made up of silver maple and oak trees, as it traverses challenging grades over steep-sided valleys and hills. It is the most challenging trail in this system.

Flora & Fauna

Keep your eyes peeled for deer, wild turkeys, raccoons, and opossums along the trail.
