Thumbnails to Show You the Way

1. Park in the gravel parking area on the right, just before the Hassenplug Covered Bridge.
2. Look for the brown trailhead. Start your adventure by entering the restored wetlands through the entrance closest to the stream.
3. Walk along the trail loop and keep an eye out for birds!
4. When the trail splits, go right toward the Vernal Pond Loop.
5. Vernal ponds are important breeding grounds for many amphibians, invertebrates, and crustaceans during the Spring season. After you pass the observation deck, look to your left to find the post attached to a tree.
6. After leaving the Vernal Pond Loop, turn right to stay on Koons Trail.
7. Keep walking on the trail until you end up back where you started.
