Best Birds: This miles-long trail system is located entirely south of Hwy 70 and Anvil Lake. Trails pass through rolling, mostly upland terrain providing opportunities for a variety of songbirds. The mature hardwood and hemlock should be scanned for Blackburnian, Black-and-White, and Black-throated Green Warbler. Extensive areas of understory shrubs over-topped by mature forest provide habitat for Broad-winged Hawk, Barred Owl, and Black-throated Blue Warbler. The songs of Hermit Thrush are common along the trails.
