Trail Marker 9
As you approach Bridge #4, the sweetgum trees and sea myrtle are recovering nicely after being pruned in the late 2000’s by enthusiastic beavers. This area provides a great cove for aquatic birds, like great herons, to hang out and do a little fishing. The rock wall protects the south bank of the feeder stream from erosion during heavy rain events.
