Comments:

There are five trails at the Kleb Woods Nature Preserve - four are at the southern end (Wetlands Trail, Live Oak Trail, Farm Trail, and Nature Trail) and one at the northern end (Half-Mile Trail and Loop).  The four trails at the southern park interconnect at different points.

This is a nice, short nature walk and a nice way to spend an hour or so.  Very easy, flat trails.  I hesitate to call it hiking because I usually reserve the word for longer, more rigorous treks in more remote areas.  A lot of birdwatchers visit this park, but on the day I went they didn't have too much luck.

I would recommend this if you're in the area or looking for a new adventure.  With the high price of gas, I wouldn't make a separate trip out of it.
