Fernwood Nature Trail

Fernwood Nature Trail is a wonderful place for a peaceful walk and a mental reset. It’s a very cozy and well-maintained nature trail with lots of greenery, plenty of shade from the trees, and a calm, relaxing atmosphere. The trail is easy to walk, making it perfect for families with kids, light jogging, or a slow, enjoyable stroll. It’s clean, clearly marked, and you can tell the area is well cared for. A great spot to escape the city noise, get some fresh air, and enjoy nature. Highly recommended for anyone who loves quiet and beautiful outdoor places. 🌿

This is my favorite natural trail off the swamp rabbit trail. You can access it in several spots and it goes parallel to the main trail. Lovely! It is hilly and narrow but not an issue for a single mountain bike or a walker.

Kinda Peaceful good walk though

A very nice although short (0.4 mile) trail going through a dense forest along a bubbling brook. Many interesting plants grow around, with interpretive signage here and there. It’s a loop trail following the brook on both sides. Lots of shade even in the middle of the day because of tall old trees. After completing it, one may continue on the Eagle Trail that starts nearby and leads to Cleveland Park near the Zoo. Eagle Trail provides a nice leisurely walk through the woods above the Cleveland Park. It starts above the tennis courts and goes to the south end of the park (where Lakehurst St. meets Fernwood Way). The trail is narrow and not paved, but the surface is quite smooth. Lots of shade, birds and squirrels abound, various trees and plants to admire. About half a mile long.

This is a beautiful trail BUT it is COVERED in poison ivy!! I was about 3 minutes in and I looked down and I was surrounded by poison ivy vines. Be very very careful running or biking here!!
