The visitor center Boardwalk trail offers great wildlife viewing opportunities of birds, wterfowl, muskrat, frogs, and turtles. The trail is open year-round and visitors are welcome to walk, snowshoe or cross-country ski.

The Visitor Center Boardwalk Trail is relatively level with a firm surface of crushed granite, pavement and boardwalks allowing for easy access for people of all abilities. The trail winds through mature cedar and black ash forests with vistas of sedge meadow and wetland habitats. Benches every 400 feet allow for reflection and relaxed viewing opportunities. Interpretive wayside exhibits tell the story of glacial history, forests, wildlife and wetland habitats. Guided nature walks are offered during the summer months.
