This is the trail head sign. I walked about 3 miles, or maybe 3.5. My plan was to walk about 2 miles.
Many roots on the trails. A hiking stick makes it easier.
In various spots, especially the bog area, Wooden boardwalks have been put in place for easier walking.
It’s been very dry in our area.
The trails are well marked, but the map does not have the post numbers marked on it.

This nature preserve has miles of narrow trails that make you feel as if you are in the middle of nowhere. During my walk, the fall colors against the bark of the trees looked very beautiful. I went on about 4 out of the 7 trails that are offered, the Evergreen Trail; the Spaghnum Trail, the Fair Hill Trail and the Five Mile trail. If you are willing to walk for more than an hour, you can get at least 3 miles out of this walk. So it is a nice way to get some exercise and be outside even though you are in the middle of suburbia about a mile from the grocery store! I’m sure each season will bring different aspects of this nature preserve out. Today I saw a beautiful fall colors; in the spring I would imagine there would be a lot of parents; and in wintertime it would be absolutely gorgeous to walk through in snow
