DESCRIPTION

This trail begins at the floating bridge which is accessible from the Mill Falls 
Trail.  It is set on a glacially formed hill (drumlin).  Several orchids can be 
found on this trail, including Lady Slipper, Rattlesnake Plaintain, Spotted 
Coral Root and many different mushrooms.  

The trail passes through a stand of Beech and mixed hardwoods and down into a 
Hemlock grove. This is a great family trail with a beautiful view of Mill Falls. 
An interpretive cassette and player can be obtained from the Visitor Centre to 
bring along on the trail.
