About the Trail - (meet us here at 10am)

Deer Bone Trail offers a unique blend of natural beauty and local history. In the 1970s, this area was at the center of an important balance between environmental preservation and development. Today, it stands as a protected space featuring approximately four miles of interconnected trails and firebreaks.
