This well maintained hiking trail is 1.5 km and follows Dodds Creek through mixed forest of predominantly beech and maple with some planted coniferous trees. Bridges allow passage over creeks and wet areas. It is good for sighting spring warblers and other songbirds. Some nesting birds seen there during June and July are Brown Thrasher, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Yellow Warbler and Gray Catbird. A meadow near Lyle Road is good for spotting butterflies. There are good possibilities that an American Woodcock and Ruffed Grouse may be seen along the trail.
