| Hike Summary: | Starts in the open but soon enters the largest wood lot in the park. Hikers will see areas of oak-hickory mixed with cherry, ash and areas of beech-maple mix. The topography includes uplands and low glacial depressions. The remainder of the trail traverses open rolling established prairie, with views of the lake. Summit Lake has an excellent bird watching and wildlife observation area. |
