Lakeview Trail - 0.3 miles- the expressway to the Beaver Lake shore.
Hemlock Hollow - 0.4 miles -the name itself suggests what you will find - a cool and shaded hide-away.
Pine Meadow - 0.5 miles - An isolated meadow shielded by pines on one side and a mixed forest on the other makes a storybook setting for rabbits, woodchucks and deer.
Bog - .6 miles - Our elevated boardwalk is your invitation to visit a habitat different from any other you may have expereinced. Yellow warblers declare ownership from the tops of spindly alders, while insect-eating pitcher plants and lady's slipper orchids grace the soggy floor.
Deep Woods - 1.4 miles - this trail affords hikers a long and meandering walk through the serenity of a maturing forest.
Three Meadows - 1.5 miles - Daisies dancing on warm breezes will put extra spring in your step as you cross sunny fields before enjoying the cool respite of the forest.
Lake Loop - 3.0 miles - Nearly 3/4 of a mile of boardwalk lets you immerse yourself in a variety of wetlands, yet still keep your feet dry.
