Welcome!

The 3rd and 4th grade students of Journey House spent the 2007-2008 school year learning about the Allen Brook Nature Trail located behind our school. We hiked the trail at least once every month. We hope you enjoy viewing our photos and reading about the trail!

The Bridge


The bridge was made by the VYCC about 11 years ago. You will see the Allen Brook Bridge at the beginning of the trail. The poles that stabilize the bridge used to be made of wood. The wood started to rot so they had to replace the wooden pole with metal poles.

The bridge leads you to the northern hard wood forest part of the trail. The bridge goes over low land and the Allen Brook. It is one of the most popular parts of the trail. You can find the trail behind Williston Central School just past the ice skating. The bike path loops so you should only take the turn that has the trail sign in front and that will get you to the bridge.
