| Brief Trail Description | |
| Red Trail (8.3 miles): The park’s longest trail touches on many vegetative types. On its far north end, the trail gives a nice overview of what much of the park’s topography looked like before the landscape was altered by the Air Force. After the trail leaves the west junction of the Red and Orange loops, it passes through some nice wetland areas before turning east toward the parking lot.= THERE ARE SPOTS THAT HAVE A SHORT CUT- THAT WE WILL CUT OFF THE 0.3 MILES. FOR THOSE WANTING 10 MILE 1 DA==> Green Trail (1.8 miles): The Green Trail is entirely north of Wolf Lake. A boardwalk between two small ponds is at the start of the trail, a good place to look for waterfowl. This trail travels through a beautiful restored prairie and a small woodlot with good spring wildflowers. One of the finest overviews of Wolf Lake exists on the return part of the loop, just past the turnoff for the Blue Trail. (WILL RE-WALK A PORTION OF THIS FOR THE NEEDED 0.2 MILES) | |
