The nature trail starts on the south side of the parking lot, leading into a bluff forest of southern magnolia, oaks, and sparkleberry. This natural trail winds gently through the upland forest, offering a closer look at the steep head ravine system. In 2011, a 1.33-mile spur trail was completed as an Eagle Scout project, by Matt Willis and Scout Troop 114, which leads to a beautiful bluff overlooking Lake Talquin.
