Marshy Point Nature Center is a county facility that offers nature programs on weekends and various other activities. They are open 9-5 daily. The gate is down other times and you will not be able to get in. They can be reached at (410)887-2817

CLUES:
DIRECTIONS: Off Eastern Avenue (MD 150) between White Marsh Blvd (MD 43) and Ebenezer road.

From the parking lot, walk toward the building and you will see a sign for the White Tail Trail. Take the trail. Notice near the beginning of the trail that the trees on the right side are young and those on the left are mature. The right side was farmland until a few decades ago and only recently was allowed to grow wild. You can still see the furrows on the ground where the field had been plowed.

After a pleasant walk, you will come to a T-intersection. Take the Weiskittel Trail to the left and go about 35 paces. Look to your left for a red oak tree, about 35 feet into the woods. It has a single trunk that forks to two trunks about thigh-high. Each trunk is under a foot in diameter. Look behind the tree.

While you are here, continue on a short walk to Iron Point and a view of the water.

Round trip distance is about 1 mile on flat trail. The trail distance signs are not very accurate. While you are here, take time to enjoy investigating the displays in the building.
