The diversity of animals one can find on the trail is astounding. Hikers have seen a bald eagle diving into the lake and returning with a fish, a flock of white pelicans land on the bayou, mallard ducks enjoying the cool water and sunlight, white tailed deer running down the trail, and a snake unsuccessfully trying to capture a frog. Memories like these are unforgettable and are the reason the trail is so special to so many people. Montessori students just confirmed sighting of a river otter in the bayou! Let us know if you see any unique animals on the trail!
