Description

This loop trail travels through the upland forest adjacent to vernal pools and the important and fragile wetlands of Beaver Dam Heath. While the forest floor trail surface can be a little soft, it is not wet or unstable. The 0.6 mile trail offers quite a bit of access for someone looking for a scenic, quiet experience on a relatively flat trail with a couple of very short steeper (10%) sections. The tread width is 2-3 feet, depending on maintenance.
