Description
This loop trail is a beautiful man-made nature preserve that offers lots of wildlife and lake views for the 1.6 mile trail length. Along the way, visitors will enjoy taking in both the forest environment of the preserve itself, as well as the spectacular views of Lake Erie. The whole trail is mostly flat, and the surface is grass, making it easy to admire the scenery.
