The 1500 acre Greenway, running along both sides of the river, beckons nature lovers with a variety of animals and plants.

Silence, and a sharp eye, might be rewarded with a glimpse of an Osprey, a Broad-winged hawk, Blue Heron, Canadian Goose, Spotted Sandpiper, Pine Warbler, colorful Parula Warbler, or a Red-eyed Vireo. The Greenway is also home to several types of Duck.

The dense, and often wet, underbrush and the banks of the river provide a safe haven for deer, wild turkeys, flying squirrels, groundhogs, mink, muskrats, foxes and maybe the occasional skunk.  There have also been reports of bobcats roaming the area.

Some of the Greenway's most beautiful treasures are it's wildflowers. Rhododendron, Mountain Laurel, Trillium, Wild Azalea, Jack-in-the-pulpit, Dwarf flowered heartleaf, and many more paint the landscape.
