CARMELO MEADOW TRAIL

From entrance station to Granite Point Trail juncture, through pine woods. 2/10 mile (10 minutes). Trail reroute completed June 22, 2000.

Carmelo Meadow supports a colorful garden of fragile wildflowers in the spring and summer, along with sturdier, perennial sedges and grasses that provide cover and forage for small birds and mammals. These are hunted by owls, bobcats and coyotes from vantage points along the meadow's edge at twilight and dawn. The opening and closing hours of the reserve are established to prevent human interference during these important periods.
