Fernhill Wetlands

IMG_5247

  Fernhills Wetlands is another example of continuing the treatment of clean waste water by filtering it through a system of ponds and waterfalls. The wetlands are enhanced with landscaping of native plants and provide a home or stopping point for over 200 different species of birds.

   IMG_5223 IMG_5225IMG_5249   IMG_5243  IMG_5257   The trails are accessible but first section is surfaced with finely crushed stone which hasn’t packed down yet so pushing is a bit difficult. The rest of the trails have medium size gravel and are bumpy.

    1. It's a very nice one - the trails aren't long but there's a lot of variety.
