A peaceful cedar swamp threaded by trails and the old West Shore rail bed, Nelson Swamp invites unhurried walks among birdsong and cattails. The Link Trail follows the raised grade for easy access through wetlands, while an interpretive path and seasonal ski routes reveal the area’s rare natural beauty year-round.

- Follow the Link Trail segment along the raised rail grade for easy views into the wetland.
