Even though it sits on a bluff 35 feet above Owens Creek, Adee’s Woods is a rather moist 10-acre forested preserve. A single picnic table beckons anyone who enters the parking lot. In addition to some very large old oak trees, it contains a number of uncommon plants, especially spring flora including ferns, sedges and woodland forbs. Grazed in the distant past, but never row-crop farmed, a single trail winds south to the bluff overlooking the picturesque creek.
