This area was donated by the family of Lois Arlene Boesl (pronounced “basil”), a birder who walked these woods daily. Birders today can find the same species that drew her here. The seasonal variation of Ozark species can be sought here in comfort. This is a pleasant site to visit for 20 minutes or an hour.

1 parking lot. The .30 mile chat nature trail loop is an easy stroll, providing access to the oak-hickory woods. There is a small pond, and the area near the lot is planted in prairies grasses and flowers.

The .30 mile loop chat trail is wheelchair compatible.
