Ride the Wilderness Wagon as you explore Shaw Nature Reserve! It's a
perfect way to see the reserve if you have small children who may not be able to walk the three-mile Trail House Loop Road.
The narrated wagon ride stops at the Trail House and wetland bus stop, where you can disembark to take the short hike to the river or to the wetlands and get picked up later. Or, stay on the wagon and continue to the Maritz Trail House, and Gardenway Bus Stop to see the nearby Wetland Complex.
The one-hour, narrated tour costs $1 per person and departs on Saturdays and Sundays in October at 1, 2, and 3 p.m.
