Description

This is a very short segment of the Runge Nature Center, and is one of the only unpaved trails the nature center offers. This trail has a steep staircase about halfway through, so it may not be ADA accessible. Creeks and moss covered rocks can be seen from this segment.

Flora & Fauna

Squirrel, Cardinals, Deer, Turkey

Ran the trail out and back for recording purposes. Employee told me to not run, but was very nice. I ran as soon as I turned the corner. :P 0.6mi — 0h 05m
