| Trail System: | ||||||||||||||
| Hemlock Bluffs has three loop trails which begin just beyond the courtyard of the Stevens Nature Center. Fifteen point, self-guided brochures of the Swift Creek and Chestnut Oak trails are available to increase your knowledge and enjoyment of the Preserve. Chestnut Oak Loop (shown in red, 1.2 miles) - this is the longest and most rugged trail. Because it is less travelled by preserve visitors, you are likely to encounter shy wildlife such as gray foxes. Swift Creek Loop (shown in green, 0.8 miles) - this trail has a beautiful system of boardwalks and a spectacular display of wildflowers in the Spring. On it's long stairway you can stop at the overlooks to view the Eastern Hemlock trees. Beech Tree Cove Loop (shown in yellow, 0.9 miles) - this is the easiest trail to take with a stroller and has the least mosquitoes in the summer. It will take you to the West Hemlock Overlook, where you can see Eastern Hemlocks. |
