We all have our favorites, especially at certain seasons and at certain times of day.  Lowes Cove is its sparkling best at high tide, but it can also be interesting to see wormers and clammers working the mud at low tide.  The stream along Watershed Trail below Flat Rock is at its best after the spring thaws, though the section of trail just above Flat Rock may require rubber boots at such times, and the westernmost stretch of the Watershed North Ridge connector trail can remain a little wet right through the first half of the summer.  The late afternoon sun shining in through the trees along the River Bluff Trail is magical any time of year.  The outermost ring of trails can offer a good opportunity for a vigorous hour-long loop, but if time is tight, it is possible to take one of the short-cut trails down to the water for a moment of solitude.  The trail map and page of trail descriptions below should help you make your plans.
