About Muddy Creek Holly Trail

With the first few steps on the Holly Trail, the visitor will find himself surrounded by life in the wildest of settings. This out-and-back trail stretches a mile over the glacial and riverine sediments of Muddy Creek's valley. The terrain is flat to gently rolling with an environment of meadows, marshes, oxbow sloughs, and intermediate and mature forests.

A four foot wide boardwalk provides excellent access for the handicapped and others in this seasonally wet area.
