Nature Loop

Length: 1 mile

Difficulty: Easy/moderate

The Nature Loop is an easy trail that winds up and down through an area of low-lying ground that is subject to flooding, creating floodplain habitat. As you hike the trail, you will see a native plant meadow, where you can learn more about the importance of native plants and pollinators. There is also a forest mixed with both deciduous and evergreen trees that are home to a variety of birds. Further down the path, there is a stand of pawpaw trees, which are small trees that grow an edible sweet fruit. The path along the Burning Basin also has many different types of wetland plants and animals.
