1. PLACES / FLAT BRANCH NATURE PRESERVE
If you are looking for a short and easy hike, this is your trail! Flat Branch Nature Preserve is part of an old farmland and upland depression swap forest. The preserve has a shelter with picnic tables and restrooms. There is a short natural and crushed gravel .45mi loop trail with a small boardwalk area over the swamp. And as the name suggests, it is completely flat! A very low key hike that is perfect for beginners.

A short boardwalk extends from the loop over the upland depression swap. The area has many informative signs about the area.
