Shelter Trail: Easy trail for all ages. The trail, which wraps around the wooded area surrounding Shelter 3 is perfect for walkers and runners alike. This trail accommodates jogging strollers.

Bayberry Trail: Moderately difficult trail that wraps through the woods and by the shoreline of Waller Mill Reservoir. At approximately 2 miles a bench marked "Michael's Meditation Point" looks out toward the water for a relaxing and peaceful view.

Lookout Tower: Difficult trail involving many steep inclines and declines. Access to the trail is off the paved path and begins at the Lookout Tower that provides an overhead view of the reservoir, dock, and Operations Building. The walk, which follows the edge of the reservoir, is one of great beauty.

Paved Bike/Walking Trail: Easy trail designed for both bikers and walkers. The trail lies in the old railroad bed and connects from Rochambeau Drive to Mooretown Road. The walk is mostly shaded under the canopy of the aligning trees. Lookout Tower is located directly off the path and is a perfect spot to stop and take in the view or even to pause for lunch at the picnic tables located nearby.

After this walk, you deserve some homemade treats! The Legacy provides refreshments throughout the day for your enjoyment.
