Trailhead

Not only are tulip poplars one of the fastest growing trees in the park, but they are also one of the tallest at 100 feet in height. These trees play an important role in forest succession as they quickly create a forest canopy, shading the understory and gradually overtime they will be replaced by mature hardwoods such as oak, beech, and maple trees.
