If you're curious about trees, satisfy your curiosity on this Arbor Adventure!

Join a ranger on Chippoax Trace Trail to identify Chippokes' fauna, specifically trees.

This trail takes visitors from rolling farm fields, into canopied woodlands, and to a worthwhile scenic view of the beautiful salt marshes of Chippokes. Guests are highly encouraged to bring water bottles, hiking boots/comfortable shoes, hiking poles/walking sticks and warm clothing.

Parking is available at the Chipoax Trail Trailhead along Chippokes Farm Road, third driveway on the right. This excursion will be approximately 2 miles, to the end of the Trace Trail and back.

Pictured is the end of Chippoax Trace Trail, overlooking College Run Creek.
