The area is home to a beaver lodge, which is the technical term for a beaver home. It looks a bit like a giant pile of twigs and leaves, but it’s actually a snug little beaver condo.

It’s good for all skill levels, including small children and athletically-challenged adults. There’s plenty of beautiful greenery to look at and the trail is quite flat, only gaining about 19 feet in elevation.

Log bridges located along the trail add a fairytale touch to this hike. And if you feel like braving the cold, the pond looks truly lovely in the winter.

Due to the fact that there are beavers about, please keep even well-behaved dogs on leash.
