Natural Resources staff recently removed invasive plants from the natural area and planted native species. A gravel trail has been completed through the eastern edge of the park.

The trail starts at the end of Old Oleson Road (which dead ends at the northern edge of the park) and meanders through the woods to the southeast corner of the park near Vermont Creek
