The trail starts right at the parking lot.

Some of the most difficult terrain on this trail is right at the beginning, when it climbs up a steep slope.

The Woodland Fork is forested and shady, and is very lush and green during summer months.

This terrain is more typical of a dry prairie.

The moisture here allows for very thick vegetation, including some beautiful ferns.


This hike is very kid-friendly, especially if your youngsters like to climb boulders.

You'll definitely want to bring a camera along - this entire hike is very scenic.

The preserve is open Wednesday through Sunday, and the gates are open from 8 AM to 5 PM. For more information, visit the Redbud Valley Nature Preserve’s website.
