Description
Park at the visitor center in Canoe Creek State Park. Head down the hill and make a right turn onto the boardwalk start of the Marsh Traill. Follow the trail past several birding huts. The huts make great points for taking photographs.After the huts, the trail makes a left turn away from the lake and joins up with Marsh Road where you'll then make a left turn and follow it back to where you began. This is a perfect trail for birding.
