Celery Farm Mayor Fitzpatrick Nature Trail

03/02/25

The trail starts right off a main road, with a little gravel parking patch that can fit about 5 cars. It’s a nice walking trail, no pets allowed. It is very much a dirt path, so while elevation wise it’s flat, the path itself is very bumpy with roots cutting across and lkttle bridged, so you need to be mindful of where you’re stepping. I don’t think, at least in the winter when I’m sure it’s not as busy or maintained, it’s stroller friendly. You actually get to see the farm, with the various plants they’re working on growing, which is pretty cool! Excited to come back when everything is in full bloom and it’s warmer.
