Trail Overview[edit]
Short walk through forest to wildlife viewing shelter.
How To Get There[edit]
Once at the state park, parking in corner between pool and tennis court. Alternatively, a short connector from Old Wagon Trail.
Route Description[edit]
Short walk up through mature maple forest. Part of the disc course also threads along the path. Ends at wooden viewing shelter looking out over an open field. Best for birds and other wildlife in early morning.
| Mileage | Feature | Elevation |
|---|---|---|
| 0.00 | Trailhead | 1160 |
| 0.20 | Connecting segment to Old Wagon Trail | 1150 |
| 0.45 | Wildlife viewing shelter | 1220 |
Typical Conditions[edit]
Best forest trail tread observed in the park with switchbacks to manage water flow. Would be beautiful with Fall colors. No sign of any trimming back the growth along the path.
Miscellaneous Information[edit]
In September 2020, the wooden steps up to the viewing shelter were removed with caution tape closing the opening. Would be good to get a list of potential wildlife that could be seen here besides deer.
