Limpy Botanical Interpretive Loop Trail #1133


The Limpy Botanical Trail is an easy trail located in a botanically rich serpentine area that makes this corner of southwest Oregon so different and biodiverse. Interpretive signs describing the vast diversity of plants found in the area are located along the trail. Springtime offers a nice botanical adventure, full of wildflowers unique to this type of habitat. There is a nice waterfall along the route, with a bench for a peaceful moment of silence or just a nice rest. A number of other benches are located along the trail, creekside, and overlooking the landscape of the area and meadows. Make plans to spend some time enjoying yourself along this trail! There is also a picnic table at the beginning of the trail that offers a nice place to enjoy a snack.
