Directions
Indian Mound Reserve is a 169-acre Greene County Parks & Trails property, with Native American earthworks, an 1800’s log cabin, 8 miles of hiking trails along Massie Creek Gorge, and a scenic overlook at Cedar Cliff Falls. The spring wildflower display is incredible here - be sure to visit the changing floral display throughout the season!
The target of our search on Sunday, March 5 is the early blooming, diminutive snow trillium and a few other early ephemerals in Massie Creek Gorge. The gorge trail is narrow, with rocks and tree roots, and one short but steep slope to climb. The hike will be about 1.25 miles. Bring your favorite wildflower field guide and binoculars!
Families and friends are welcome! Please let us know if you plan to join us.
There are three entrances to this reserve - use the WILLIAMSON LANE entrance (link to map and directions below) by the LOG CABIN. We’ll meet in the parking lot on the right and start hiking at 1:00 PM.
Optional: Afterward, we can head to Pearl’s Fen, then walk to Oakes Quarry to view another display of snow trillium on a steep, wooded slope. (DAWO visited this site a few years ago.)
