  Beautiful area of the park with meandering trails through woods. The trails run adjacent to a small stream for much of their length. There are a number of species of plants in this area with ferns being chief among them. Several benches are strategically positioned throughout the valley to provide great views. Nice spot for a short walk.

  This is a fun area to explore. The ferns are in a wooded area with trails and bridges winding through different types of ferns and other labeled plants.
