Description

The Davis Stream trail is a just over half mile self-guided interpretive loop trail. Starting at the trailhead along the road, the trail leads back, skirting the cemetery, until it reaches the beginning of the interpretive loop. Davis Stream is what is known as a meandering stream; the flat landscape means that rather then follow a definitive course, the stream loops back and forth and changes course over time. This is evidenced by trees along the stream that are falling over where the bank has moved out from under them. Several spots along the stream, including one where the stream takes a 90 degree turn, offer excellent wildlife watching. A ridge along the loop provides a noticeable difference in wildlife habitat than the floodplains visible below.

The road to the trail head which goes along a graveyard was closed off with a rope so I parked at the grange hell up the road and walked along the road with my dog a short distance to get to the trail head (which wasn’t ideal because there is no breakdown lane along the road so you have to walk along edge of the road). It appeared there was Cyanobacteria near the drain pipes prior to the trail head but the water along the lily pad area was clear.
