Duke,

 

I don't have an "official" reason but I can make many logical assumptions for the elevated path.  I saw one in a stereo picture from Duane in the 3D exchange group a while back. 

 

Bare in mind (from the link info posted in the introduction to the series), the trail is part of a "Nature Center" and bird watching project.  The path being elevated like a boardwalk makes the trail much more easily navigable, especially with possible groups of people that would not need to wear special clothing or footwear for the excursion.  It makes it easier for anyone from small kids to elderly adults to hike and it tends to keep everyone together on the same path.  No one gets their feet or clothes messed up, so you can come unprepared as visitors often do.  This is especially convenient after a rainfall or even winter conditions such as snow on the ground, not to mention possible elevation of the mill stream adjacent to the trail.  The area is often used for school field trips as well.  Probably zero chance of picking up a deer tick which can cause Lyme disease.  It helps to prevent excursions to areas that may not be part of the nature center such as surrounding private property.  About midway down the trail is a kind of rest area which consists of a wider deck area and a bench for sitting.  These are a few of the reasons that readily come to mind.

 

Thanks for your comments on the series,

Brian

Is there any particular reason why there's an elevated path into the woods?

Abbott's Mill Nature Trail #25

 

This wooden trail starting directly behind the mill, follows the mill stream into the adjacent wooded area.

 

Cheers,
