Trail description

The trail network here covers approximately 3.5 km and features gentle terrain with minimal elevation change, which makes it genuinely easy walking for almost anyone. Expect to spend around an hour and fifteen minutes moving through the full loop, though most visitors take longer once they start pausing at the wildlife habitats. The estimated time assumes a steady pace — in practice, you'll probably want to add extra time if you're traveling with kids or have any interest in wildlife photography.
