Begin this loop trail at Harold Cox's Nature Garden, a native plant garden with interpretive signage. Then make your way through a mature Oak-Hickory forest crisscrossed by a lively stream and many seeps that drain from the mountain’s impervious surface.

Be on the lookout for the Bigleaf Magnolia, the largest single leaf in North America.
