Description
This trail is steep at first, but levels off and becomes wide and grassy. End to end, this trail starts behind Susquehanna and ends at BU Acres. The anthills can be up to 2 feet tall, and ants buzz with activity. Please be respectful to nature and to other hikers experiences, and do not disturb the anthills. The meadow by BU acres offers wildflowers and other wildlife. Always dry except for one small patch near the top of the straight section. Excellent for hiking or running.
