The Sundew Trail is a short loop trail. It is a nice place for birdwatchers. You can also see some pitcher plants along the boardwalk. They are not as numerous as what you'll see on the Pitcher Plant Trail, but you can see them here, too, in case you can't make it to the Pitcher Plant Trail. There are also a lot of beautiful ferns.

The stated trail distance is 1.6 miles, but I believe that is incorrect. There is a short loop and a long loop. I took the long loop and my GPS still said it was only 1.0 miles.
