Snake 'n Bake
Snakes can often be seen basking in the sun on the Bike & Hike and Towpath trails. The warm surfaces raise their body temperatures.

Slippery Sticks
Slippery elm trees are named for their inner bark, which is moist and slippery. American Indians used the bark to reduce swelling and take the venom out of a bite or sting. It is still used today to make throat lozenges.
