Under the care of the Ingersoll Nature Club the public is encouraged to enjoy this trail in a perfect example of a Carolinian habitat.Ongoing maintenance of trails, the picnic area and bird feeding stations provide people with opportunities to regularly support stewardship responsibilities, along with the compilation of natural history information. Lawson Tract is a mixed woodlot, which provides hikers with the joy of seeing a variety of vegetation and the opportunity to do some bird watching. There is one steeper hill, but generally the terrain is easy-going. The trail is wide and well maintained. There can be wet spots in the spring or if there has been a lot of rain. It is a great hiking area. Please remember when walking dogs that they must be on a leash.
