Tons of Queen Anne's Lace everywhere this year. Sure seems to be making the honeybees (and other friends) happy!

(Side Trails - 6 of 6 - Beaver Lake Trail)
Next to the parking area across from the Stone House there is an unmarked trail that goes off to the left of the perennial garden. That trail takes you closer to the far side of the Beaver pond and comes out at the start of the stone wall you see when you normally walk north towards the bridge. Just a different view across the lake.

(Side Trails - 5 of 6 - Lookout Rock)
Posting this one just for fun. This is a proposed spot along the Green Trail just above the Cascade Falls intended to be a spot where you could scramble up on this large rock outcropping and survey the landscape below. Only problem, there's so much tree growth that you can barely see beyond where you are standing. It's a little clearer in the Winter, but not much. I guess we called it the Green Trail for a reason! Last picture shows the view. Nice rock though!!!

(Side Trails - 4 of 6 - Cascade Shortcut)
This trail leads from our little Cascade Waterfall in the middle of the Green Trail down to the rock piles along the driveway loop road. A great way to get to the falls quickly or simply to shorten your Green Trail walk. Two nice wetland bridges in the lower section. This trail cleared out and bridges built by Christian Lobasso for his Eagle Scout project.
