This is a nice, casual trail, with very little variation of elevation throughout the trail. Part of the trail follows a scenic bluff line, and several viewing areas are available.

Flora & Fauna

Giant City State Park is home to a good variety of wildlife. Owls, raccoons, skunks, opossums, squirrels, chipmunks and deer, to name a few. Sightings will depend on season and time of day. Various snakes may be spotted during warmer months, although they are generally bashful and normally avoid people. Red Cedar, hickory, oak as well as other hardwood trees can also be seen.
