Named after the Cornwall family, the Preserve honors the agricultural legacy of the land with active apple and peach orchards managed by neighboring farmers. Please stay out of the orchard areas on your visit to the Preserve.
There are five trails at the preserve varying in difficulty from mowed grass meadow to steeper wooded trails and great areas to sit and bird not far from either parking lot.
