Dike Trail follows a dike saddled by woods on the left and a marsh on the right. Legions of birdlife are examined and enjoyed each season. Resident birds include blue herons, egrets, hawks, shorebirds, flickers, mockingbirds, warblers, owls, and waterfowl. In fall, migrating geese enjoy a rest over at this Atlantic Flyway location. Binoculars are a welcome accompaniment along the hike. The dike trail ends at Petersfield Ditch. Retrace your steps back to the parking area.
