Subtrails
After the Woodland Trail and Meadow were completed, two connecting subtrails were constructed.
Trustees Bob Gramling and Herbert Huddleston volunteered to design and lay out the area for additional walking and jogging. With the design work completed, the trails were finished in December 2010. They are constructed with Geotextile over packed dirt and topped with six inches of crushed limestone. Most of the expense of this project was covered by a grant from the Monsanto Fund which had previously awarded two other grants to the GCPT. The paths were built by Larry Goss of Greenville Lawns at a cost of $16,000.
These trails open the interior woods and are so appropriately located that they appear to make the Preserve larger than the 16 acres it encompasses. The more southern trail is 248 feet long and is named the Red Fox Trail because a fox was sighted there a few years ago. The more northern trail is 205 feet long and is called the Wood Duck Trail which alludes to the number of wood duck boxes in the sloughs and the multiple sightings of wood ducks. Both begin and end by intersecting with the Cypress Trail.
