Reviews
"I get that it's a nature preserve but it looks like an unkempt weed sanctuary. The trail is supposed to "loop" around, but at one point the path splits and you can't tell which to take. We took the wrong one. They boast a gravel parking lot, when in fact it's a gravelly area on the side of the road that might fit four cars. Thumbs down from us."
"Short trail, most beautiful during the fall. Very small parking lot."
"Beautiful preserve in any season. Well maintained trail. Experience forest, prairie and dunes."
"Lots of work has been done on this preserve, and it looks/feels pretty damn good."
"Owned and managed by Shirley Heinze Trust, Preserve is actually on the E. side of County Line Rd. Just N. of Stagecoach Rd. Beautiful meadows of spring flowers (I visited June 7) Parking is very limited (Mowed grassy area, room for only a few cars) The "trail" was not clearly marked and at times indistinguishable at all. But quiet and serene and the beautiful assortment of wild flowers make it worth a visit. Obviously, the trail is in it's early stages of development."
