Hours of visitation: Dawn to dusk, year round.
Guidelines: To help ensure that this special place can be enjoyed for future generations, please leave no trace and carry out what you carry in. Camping, littering, hunting, fires, or removal or destruction of plants or animals are prohibited. See our full preserve visitation guidelines for more information.
What to See: Common plants include wild strawberry and sarsaparilla, selfheal, speedwell, fly honeysuckle, white wood aster, spotted touch-me-not, meadow rue, jack-in-the-pulpit and skunk cabbage. Flourishing stands of ferns can be found in the forest and along the ravines. One easily recognizable one is the Christmas fern, so called because the small leaflets are shaped like Christmas stocking. Ostrich fern grows along the moist bank of the Lisha Kill.
Three marked trails traverse the preserve, with some steep climbs. There are some steep climbs into and out of stream ravines, and there are frequent wet areas. There is an overlook where the Fly Kill joins the Lisha Kill. Please heed the posted warning and do not get too close!
Please note that the preserve is closed between late February and early May when use of the trails will result in severe erosion damage.
