This trail passes through a variety of habitats in a relatively small area. At Cornell Botanic Gardens Park Park Natural Area, trails wind through a variety of plant communities including forest, shrub thicket, wetland, meadow and prairie near Fall Creek. A one-quarter mile spur trail crosses Forest Home Drive to a scenic picnic area with stone tables on the banks of Fall Creek. The western end of the trail in this natural area adjoins the Morgan Smith Trail, which passes through an old-growth forest and provides access to Cornell Botanic Gardens' F. R. Newman Arboretum and nearby Cornell Botanic Gardens Natural Areas via the Cayuga Trail.
