Many different tree species can be observed along the trails. Red maple, beech, and black birch are abundant at lower elevations. Along the hilltops and even drier sites, shagbark hickory, the pignut hickory, and red-black, and white oak dominate. Yellow birch, tulip, poplar, and basswood are others to look out for. Theses trails are excellent for hiking and picnics.
There are several trails within Cherry Lane Park. The perimeter loop marked with orange blazes goes around the park, excluding the southernmost portion which contains a large swamp traversed via the red trails. This red trail loops around the swamp and proceeds upland through a fine stand of evergreens before descending to meet up again with the perimeter loop trail. The blue-blazed trail follows the margins of the pond and provides a very pleasant walk for the visitors with limited time. The hill loop, marked with white blazes; passes by the pond before circling the ridge top. The pond is Cherry Lane's most dramatic feature, ducks are almost always present.
