Description

Trail 2 is a really nice, flat trail that runs through mature forest and wetlands. It can be easily accessed from the Nature Center, campground, or by parking at the Wilson Shelter. On the east and west ends, the trail crosses the Great Marsh via a boardwalk. The trail is often used in the winter for cross country skiing.

Hikers looking for a long hike can combine Trail 2 with Trail 10 for a great loop of the park.
