The trail goes through forested wetlands and marshes which provide important habitat for waterfowl, songbirds, and birds of prey that migrate thousands of miles along the Atlantic Flyway. Throughout the year, millions of birds and 300 species rest, breed and overwinter here including birds that are threatened, endangered, and species of concern such as the Bald Eagle, Northern Harrier, Short-eared Owl, Cerulean Warbler, American Black Duck and Pied-billed Greve.
There is a picnic area with tables, grills, and a fire pit at the east end and a nature and wildlife mural on the concrete railroad trestle abutment. Parking is available at the picnic area and off-street parking is available at the VanDyne Spoor Rd. intersection. This trail is also good for biking and skiing.
