The Millers Pond TRACK Trail is a 0.53 mile loop trail that takes visitors around Millers Pond. As you travel around the trail, visitors will be able to view the pond and the various wildlife found living there, from water turtles and birds to various species of frogs and fish. The pond has several docks and fishing platforms, allowing park patrons to get an up close view plants and animals that call the pond home. Visitors will also get to walk through the forest, using the brochure-led adventures to learn about the trees and other natural resources found in the park.
In addition to the trail, the park also has a playground and picnic area that visitors to the park can use to further enjoy the environment.
