This is the wildlife lookout at Moccasin Marsh. This nature preserve is a popular area for bird watchers. (Photo by Blaze)

Apparently, there are a variety of snakes. I didn't see any, but it would not be wise to wear clothing that will bare your legs. (Photo by Blaze)

These small red berries are pretty and tempting to eat, but mildly toxic to humans. Consuming just a few can make you sick and a large number can kill you. (Photo by Blaze)

There are five trails at the Kleb Woods Nature Preserve - four are at the southern end (Wetlands Trail, Live Oak Trail, Farm Trail, and Nature Trail) and one at the northern end (Half-Mile Trail and Loop). The four trails at the southern park interconnect at different points.

This is a nice, short nature walk and a nice way to spend an hour or so. Very easy, flat trails. I hesitate to call it hiking because I usually reserve the word for longer, more rigorous treks in more remote areas. A lot of birdwatchers visit this park, but on the day I went they didn't have too much luck.

I would recommend this if you're in the area or looking for a new adventure. With the high price of gas, I wouldn't make a separate trip out of it.

Great little trail--more of a walk than a hike

I did this on a Friday afternoon when nobody was around except the workers at the nature center. I hiked all three loops starting in the north end of the park, down into the nature trail and farm trail section then back to the north parking lot.

That length is a guess based on the maps. I don't have a good time estimate because I was Geocaching at the time as well so that throws time to the dogs.
