Description

Starting at the parking lot on Valley View Road, the trail heads into dense woodlands. The trail splits into three a few hundred feet in. Following the path down to the left, the trail comes to a boardwalk over a wetland along West Fork Mill Creek. This section is on fire with yellow flowers in the spring. The trail follows the creek for almost a half mile. Eventually you'll come to a staircase and later another smaller boardwalk. The remainder of this trail is spent higher up in a woodland. You'll pass numerous informational signposts as well as a small sinkhole. The trail returns to the junction near the south end.

Flora & Fauna

Ducks, herons, turtles, water snakes, carp, barred owl.
