Description

A small trail connecting neighborhoods, following a creek in the Watts Branch watershed. Two small creek crossings that normally can be stepped over, but consider skipping this one if there have been heavy rains, and you are traveling with kids. Good for a trail run, or a casual walk. Can also be accessed from other points, but please try to park in Woodly gardens park, as there is a real parking lot.

Flora & Fauna

Lots of deer.
Generic northeast birds/animals.
