Fernwood Nature Trail at Cleveland Park
Fernwood Nature Trail is a short trail of less than .5 mile, winding through a mature hardwood portion of Cleveland Park. It was developed by the city of Greenville Parks & Recreation Department along with the William Bartram Group, S.C. Chapter of the Sierra Club. For several years, these two organizations have worked together to define, clear and maintain the trail, identify plants, and develop interpretive materials. Many years ago, the Fernwood Nature Trail was part of an old horse trail.
The trail is great for birdwatchers or the casual ambler, the trail's objective is to provide an enjoyable and educational experience. There are 24 numbered sites along the trail help users identify different plant and tree species. A quiet and observant walker may be able to see some of the park's wildlife, including many bird types, squirrels, chipmunks, frogs, lizards, turtles, snakes (almost certainly not poisonous), insects and spiders.
Please stay on the trail to lessen erosion of the surrounding land and prevent destruction of the fragile wildflowers and other special plants along the trail. Beware of poison ivy, although it is periodically cleared from the trail, the woods are an ideal poison ivy habitat.
