The Northwood Walking Trail, .5 mile, crosses Wills Creek and connects to Northwood Cemetery. Parking is available on Wills Creek Valley Drive near the oil tank.

The habitat is a mix of urban, grassland, and brushy forest on the northern side of Wills Creek. The southern side has a more mature forest. The bridge over Wills Creek offers a great vantage point for warblers, flycatchers, kingfishers, and occasional waterfowl (mainly Canada Geese and Mallards). The field offers meadowlarks, bluebirds, swallows, buteos, and accipiters year-round. There are also some productive bluebird boxes along the trail. Across the bridge is great for warblers, woodpeckers, Wood Thrush, and other forest-dwelling birds in the spring.

The trail goes uphill to the cemetery where you can find the more urban birds. The cemetery connects to the city park.
