The Millennium Trail Photos
Lakewood Forest Preserve and Davis Lake

Just after turning around at the Mile 0 marker, heading southwest on the Millennium Trail, there is another steep hill where you need to watch out for loose gravel and watch your speed a little.

A little further down the trail are these woods where there is actually a lot of Old Growth (large old trees). The photo above does not really show them but I am always amazed at these huge trees that have been around for so many years.

The wooded area as you come down a hill and into a small wetland area and low wooden bridge. The stream that you cross below is actually from the larger Davis Lake (which you can see from the top of the hills just before you get here).

As you cross the small wooden bridge ~ heading west ~ you'll see the mossy green wetlands on your right (above).

This is the view on your left as you cross the bridge. This small stream actually heads out to Davis Lake although you can't see that far from the bridge.

If you go down by the water it is filled with lily pads by the shore. I was hoping to find a frog here but no luck with that today.

This deer crossed the path ahead of me. I tried to grab and setup my camera as quickly as possible but the deer had already crossed and was in the grass (wild life photography can be really hard!).

This is coming up the hill and back into the woods again.

Another scenic bridge along the Millennium Trail. I don't remember seeing many bridges that actually curved like this one (most are just straight).

Just after the Lakewood parking area (as you head west) you go under Fairfield Road as show with the Tunnel photo above. You still need to cross Fairfield in at least one other location but I believe that they are adding another underpass there.
