DeYoung Natural Area is a work in progress but hikers already have more than 2 miles of trail to explore. On the east side of Cherry Bend Road is the Cedar Forest Trail that makes for a loop of less than a mile and includes a fishing pier and viewing deck on Cedar Lake. On the west side, described here as a 1.2-mile loop, trails first pass the buildings and then skirt small farm fields, upland meadows and stands of hardwoods.
