SPEND SOME TIME… bring a picnic lunch to enjoy at one of the 5 rest areas, the gazebo/picnic table at Escarpment Ponds or atop “big rock”.
We are always improving these areas. As of Spring 2014, enjoy …
Escarpment Ponds Rest Area:
- large picnic table on wooden deck under a beautiful new gazebo overlooking the ponds
- perhaps, you’ll spot the Great Blue Heron that lives nearby
- note: the cabins are for our personal use only, however, everyone is welcome to use the gazebo and picnic table to enjoy the view
- Or, walk to the top of the knoll we created, spread your picnic blanket and enjoy the natural beauty overlooking the Escarpment Ponds
Finch Rest Area: (formerly Homestead Rest Area)
- 3 lovely hand-made wooden benches … a perfect place to sit and relax
Big Rock:
- Literally, a very big rock right where we discovered it while cutting the trail. Located between Scrub and Inner Loop north off of Inner Loop West, there is a little side trail over to and surrounding the rock. Kids love this area!
As of summer 2016, all trails are clearly signed … many thanks to local ladies who helped paint/stain them and those who helped install them.
