About This Trail
Flat, wide trails cross open meadows and woodlands at this former AT&T shortwave radio station site, where remnant antenna poles dot the landscape. Over 108 bird species and 50 butterfly species have been documented here, with observation towers and blinds placed throughout. Crushed stone and grass paths offer well-drained footing even in wet weather, making it ideal for birders and casual walkers.
