This is a nice hike close to the city. The main loop running counterclock wise takes on the full tour of Emmebeger Nature Park. Upland hardwood forest tree species includes white oak, red oak, post oak, shagbark hickory, sugar maple, and many others. The understory trees include roughleaf dogwood, redbud, and pawpaw. Species in the bottomland areas include elm, boxelder, silver maple, American sycamore and white oak, among others.

There are lots of little cut-through options and mini loops. This is the main loop. Expect some rocks and roots with some short ups and downs
