What to expect
The Copperfield Nature Trail is a 3.6-mile out-and-back trail that is generally considered an easy route, taking an average of 1 hour and 13 minutes to complete. The trail is popular for birding, hiking, and walking, and is open year-round. It winds through a shaded forest and along Walnut Creek, featuring small wooden bridges and benches along the way. The trail is suitable for beginners and is a great place to visit with family and friends. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash. The trail is maintained by the Friends of Copperfield Nature Trails, a volunteer-based community that focuses on improving the trail with general maintenance, cleanups, and more
