The second, Stone Bench Trek, is a moderate, one-and-a-half-mile hike that follows Stone Hill Road Trail, Gate Walk, and Stone Bench Trail, and concludes with a scenic stroll down Meadow Walk. The third walk, Woodland Challenge Loop, is a two-and-a-quarter-mile journey navigating Howard Path, Carl Reidel Trail, Hopkins-Gale Trail, and Woodland Trail, concluding with a walk along the Nan Path.?
