Park	Description	Distance
North Field Loop	The North Field Loop is a self guided nature trail of 0.7 miles. Guide booklets are available at the Nature Center Museum. The Friendship trail is a paved loop trail that is accessible to persons with disabilities. This trail through wooded areas offers interpretive markers along the way. The Eel Bay Trail is of moderate difficulty and follows the shoreline of Eel Bay from the Friendship Trail to the tip of the peninsula. At this point, the trail turns into the Narrows Trail. The Narrows Trail is a 0.5 mile route along the shores of the Narrows that offers views from “Rocky Knob” and the “Potholes” areas. The Sand cove trail is a short 0.5 connector trail between the Middle Trail and the Eel Bay trail. The trail travels through forested areas to join the Eel Bay Trail in the vicinity of Sand Cove. The Middle Trail is an easy to moderately difficult trail that winds its way through the nature center area. It is the starting point for many of the other trails. The Middle Trail leads through forests, passes near beaver areas and the pond before it joins with the Narrows Trail. The Granite Trail spurs off of the Middle Trail, giving the hiker a more difficult challenge. This trail is a rugged path that leads over rocky knobs providing opportunities to find pitch pine, lichen and other rock loving plants. The trail is marked with paint blazes on the rocks. The East Trail is a moderately difficult route that has some climbs along the way. The route travels through woodlands, beaver areas, rocky knobs and finally joins with the South Bay Trail. The South Bay trail is an easy to moderate trail that works it’s way along the shores of the South Bay from the Narrows Trail to the park property’s line.	0.7 miles
