From the Creekside trailhead at the nature center, the loop traces Henry Creek, a tributary of Little Marrowbone Creek, requiring a rock-hop crossing, then climbs to explore forested ridgetops. The deep-hollow woods of this 1,600-acre natural area are known for spring wildflowers and birding, a wild corner at the edge of the city.
