Trout Brook

About Trout Brook

Bush whack along Trout Brook in the shadows of a small woodland. If you're lucky, the brook will be running, and you'll come upon a fawn hiding. Then, cross into the wide open prairie.

In 2001 a 3-acre hillside at Trout Brook Preserve was planted with prairie grasses and wildflowers. Each year promises more blooms and color.
