Trail Description:
This short trail is unique, as it passes through an area which was burned in 1986 by the 1200-acre Spring Lake Fire. Informational signs interpret the effects of fire on the landscape. Look for the visible signs of charred trees and other indications of fire. Blueberries are abundant in parts of the burned area. Wildlife, like red-tailed hawks, that live in large, relatively open areas, also find a home here.
