The trail connects the parcels of property which make up the preserve. In the northern section near loop three, a short trail leads to a scenic view of small waterfalls that tumble down the large rocky creek bed that forms steps for the creek to follow downstream. Parking is available via several pull-offs which are found along the lightly travelled roads which border the preserve. There are also bike racks and maps at intervals throughout the preserve. The scenery is spectacular, especially in the fall and spring when the trees blaze with color or the dogwoods are in bloom. Take extra care if you are not driving an off road vehicle as many of the surrounding roads are unpaved and rutted. In addition, the roads are very narrow and often flanked by deep ditrches and drop offs. What activities are available?: Hiking, fishing, photograping and observing nature.
