Eagle Marsh Wetlands is right across the road from Lutheran Hospital on Jefferson Street. It is exactly what it says...wetlands. Although in this drought it actually was quite dry. Not a lot of shade...so I suggest walking it in cooler weather. We were definitely way too hot. One of the trails did take us for a short walk through a small woods though.
But otherwise, this is a nice large grassy area. Definitely need to wear taller socks or maybe pants. Some of the spoils of walking this kind of tall grass territory include dirt and blood...
We walked about half of the trails before lunch, then took a break to cool off and eat. Went back and walked some more after lunch...
