Bartman Hill Trail Turnoff and Some Common Plants
(Gallery Has Four Pictures)
Here is the turnoff for the blue blazed Bartman Hill Trail that enters Greenbrier State Park and eventually reaches Greenbrier Lake, visible from Annapolis Rocks .
Here the Bartman Hill Trail continues into the park.
Near the Bartman Hill Trail turnoff, I saw some characteristic plants. Ferns are a fairly common sight on the trail. This fern forest comprises what are called Hayscented ferns (Dennstaedtia punctilobula).
Another common sight by the side of the trail is Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia), like this specimen here.
