Description

This expansive wetland is located in an urban area. The sensitive wildlife habitat and diverse plant community serves multiple functions of flood control.  The network of boardwalks and trails provides excellent opportunities for bird watching and appreciating the ecosystem.

 

Boardwalk Trail

The boardwalk trail is an incredible ¾ mile long walking adventure made up of more than 150 sections of floating trail.

 

The decking on these sections were replaced in March 2012 with new styrofoam floatation. The new styrofoam floatation is encased in a high impact resistant polyethylene coating that is guaranteed to last a minimum of 15 years.  The boardwalk once again provides a wonderful opportunity to experience the rich diversity of a wetland environment. It is typical to see and hear hundreds of birds and lots of wildlife enjoying the wetland environment as you walk the floating trail.  

 

Some areas may experience wet boards and we will address them as we prepare for summer.  Please note the warning signs.

Park History

The property was originally owned by the Bailey family, historic homesteaders. The county parks department and Surface Water Management targeted the site as a regional stormwater detention facility. The site was later developed with an interpretive boardwalk.
