Hiking

This trail offers a fantastic combination of sweeping vista views, grassy hillsides, and gorgeous oak trees covered in moss. The path connects to the Mindego Trail and Charquin Trail for a nice 3.5-mile loop if you wish. There are regular deer sightings along this route and many different bird species to look for. The wildflowers are in full bloom in the spring, adding to an already pleasurable hike through the preserve.
