Stroll through some of the best scenery.

Follow the Fleming Creek Trail through wetlands and a small glacial hill, where each turn brings a new view of the water and surrounding forest. In season, watch for kingfishers darting along the creek. Beavers are active here too - look for felled trees, dams, and ponded water as signs of their work shaping the landscape.


Dynamic Landscapes

The former floodplain forest shows how the land’s swampy character shapes the scenery. While invasive pests have affected the American elms, fallen trees create openings for new growth, supporting a resilient, evolving ecosystem.

At the kame, the landscape changes dramatically: well-drained soils support oak and hickory trees, with patches of wild strawberries adding seasonal color. Each section of the trail highlights a different part of this diverse and living landscape, inviting you to explore and notice the details along the way.
