Description
The trail winds though mature, undisturbed woodlands. It is rare to see anyone else on the trail. There are several benches and picnic tables to sit and enjoy the solitude.From the parking lot, head right onto the Wildness Walk and out onto Rosie's Ravine Walk. This is a really nice trail through undisturbed mature woodlands that ends at a meandering stream. After a peaceful out and back on Rosie's Ravine, take right onto the second half of Wildness Walk.From this loop, continue onto Wildflower Walk which is a nice trail trough the woods with great spring wildflowers. After finishing up your hike, take a lunch and sit at the picnic table.
