Description
This short path winds its way around the Rock Creek Park Nature Center and is a great way to bring lessons from the Nature Center to life. Visitors will enjoy working their way through the mixed oak and chestnut forest surrounding the trail. The route is shaded, and there are many places to view and learn about the local vegetation. This is the perfect trail to bring the whole family, as the way is short, flat, and full of places to stop.
