In the northern side of Trinity Woods, there is a steep slope down with a small stream at its base. The stream flows from west to east, and occasionally splits and rejoins. It has a slow flow, is very clear, shallow, filled with small rocks, and littered with organic matter. The soil and dead tree trunks around the stream and bottom of the slope are moist, and home to FROGS.

The Trinity Woods are located on the Trinity Campus at University of Vermont, right off of the path between Mercy hall and Farrell Hall. The trail entrance is an open spot in a patch of small Sumac trees on the left of the path, and the trail curves around the whole extent of the woods.
The overstory in Trinity Woods is mainly composed of large eastern white pines, paper birches, yellow birches, multiple maple varieties, and some scattered black cherries. The understory trees are largely small american beeches and sugar maples, and ground cover is limited but includes large ferns, fungi, moss, and some small herbaceous plants.
