This natural area is accessible from the F. R. Newman Arboretum by the Morgan-Smith Trail, which passes through a small but breathtaking old-growth forest with a rich diversity of mature trees and herbaceous plants. The trail also leads to the Park Park Natural Area and follows the water’s edge to a footbridge over Fall Creek to access several miles of hiking trails through forests on the north side of Fall Creek.
