The trail opens up in this moist area of the woods that Jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum) plants and ash(Fraxinus species) trees thrive in.This part of the tril has seen some historic activity that has disturbed the ground and left stone walls that invite plants like poison ivy, Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) and wild geranium (Geranium maculatum) that cling to walls, sending out new shoots throughout the summer.
