The trail passes through hemlock, sandstone cliffs and rock formations that create picturesque waterfall in wet seasons. In spring, the trail is beautifully adorned with many wildflowers, dogwood and redbuds trees, especially in June when the mountain laurel is blooming. Wildlife is abundant and can be enjoyed at the many resting areas along the trail.

From the Nature Trail, those wanting a longer walk; can connect with the 2-mile Primitive Loop Trail. This trail will take you up the hill, across the ridge and down to the Environmental Study Area. Along the trail be sure to listen for the sounds of worm-eating warblers and the musical song of the scarlet tanager. Other species include yellow-billed cuckoo, summer tanager and indigo bunting. Be on the lookout for one of the six species of woodpeckers that live in the area, as well as turkey and grouse.

The Environmental Study Area is accessible for those with limited walking abilities and wheelchairs. You will find tall native grasses full of butterflies, sparrows and other grass loving birds. Check out the wetlands for turtles, frogs and others using the wetland. Food plots make viewing deer an easy task.
