DeYoung Natural Area

The DeYoung Natural Area features a universal access trail (0.5 mile) that leads to the Cedar Lake fishing pier/observation platform and meanders through beautiful cedar forest, a historic farmstead with educational panels throughout the area, docent-led hikes featuring learning opportunities about the history of this farm, and two streams that include brook trout, wetlands, and excellent nesting habitat for both resident and migratory birds including warblers, orioles, meadow larks, red-winged black birds, and green heron.
