It was raining lightly the day my dog and I hiked around the area. We had the place to ourselves. We saw a turtle, squirrels, and a deer track. We saw the deer track right before the sign telling about the deer meadow. There are signs showing pictures of the animals that live in the area and the tracks they make. I was surprised that the mink lived in this area."
