Admission to the Heard Museum is $10.

This loop trail is accessed off the Wood Duck Trail. The trail is not improved with gravel like the other Heard trails, and was more muddy when I visited. Most of the trail goes through a dense cedar brake, and it's very different from the other trails here. It's a little spooky.

The bottoms of the cedars have bare branches that make the trees appear dead. The trees are thick and there is very little underbrush here. It's a special place.

One section of the trail runs along the edge of a meadow with lots of native plants and wildflowers, but most of the trail is shaded. It's a fairly flat trail with no obstacles.

Cedars! Wildflowers in the meadow. Lots of birds.
