Haw Ridge has a lot of different habitats and several rare plants like Tall Larkspur and Spreading Yellow False Foxglove. We’ll explore the plants in some cedar barrens, lakeshore wetlands, and limestone forests.

Most of the trail is easy to moderate. We’ll try to avoid the more difficult sections of trail or at least go slowly. In all we will go no more than 3-4 miles. It is a loop.

Dress appropriately for weather conditions at the time. Wear boots or sturdy shoes, bring insect/tick repellent, plenty of water, and snacks/lunch. Register for directions and parking instructions.
