Description
This short trail starts at the southern end of Fernbank Park. It is mostly dirt, but a few sections are gravel. The trail is mostly flat with a small staircase at about 0.4 miles. This is a good trail for birdwatching. There are a few good views of the Ohio River when trees have lost their leaves.
