Description

The blue-blazed Ledge Creek Trail at Ledge Creek Forest is a challenging singletrack with some steep up and downs as it winds through the woods and around two ponds. Hikers can connect to the Pond Trail or Green Connector for a variety of loops.

Flora & Fauna

Seven acres of fields were planted with native wildflowers and grasses in 2014 to provide habitat for songbirds and pollinator insects. Return throughout the year to see what is blooming from early spring to late fall.

The very bottom of trail along Ledge Creek is steep and forested. The slopes are dominated by native oaks, hickories, beeches, and tulip poplars.
