The Garden Path Trail, 1060 feet long, begins at the Monastery Garden 170 feet from the eastern entrance driveway off Old Route 981. At the fence break, this 950 foot long trail crosses a grassy area by the gardens, where a gravel pathway begins under a grove of pine trees. A children’s play and explore area, north of this pine grove, was developed in 2009.

Trending north, then east through the grove, the Garden Path forks after 350 feet. A short 200 foot branch returns to the entrance driveway, only 150 feet west of the start of the trail. The main trail extends another 400 feet to meet the Tall Grass Trail just south of the walkway entering the reserve from the main Saint Vincent campus along Saint Vincent Drive.
