Unlike the Falls of Hills Creek, the boardwalk here is flat and handicapped accessible.
Pitcher plant
The start of the boardwalk is is along the open area, but it quicly turns into the bog, where the vegetation is more closed in, and you cross Yew creek multiple times. (This is cause for multiple repetitions of “Yew again!” because we are horrible people.)
