Wilson Trail Split - Stream

The Wilson Trail splits briefly, offering two options: one path crosses a short bridge over a small stream, fed by the pond's outflow, then meanders through a thicket-like young forest. The other path follows the edge of the pond for a short distance, offering views of the beaver lodge and beaver-dammed outflow grate, before reconnecting in the young forest habitat.

Whichever route you choose, listen for the many songbirds who are drawn to this small stream, and the sunny gaps in the forest canopy that surround it.
