Reviews
"Trekking and cycling are popular activities in Turkey Creek Natural Preserve. It also has trails for birdwatching. Nonetheless, the water's distinct rock formations set it apart from other neighboring waterfalls. A complimentary parking area was an added bonus, and visitors are not charged for entry."
"Lovely place to be. Dog friendly and remember the Golden rule: Leave no Trace behind. Keep it clean for everyone."
"Turkey Creek is very natural. Not a lot of man made structures. It has a beautiful creek, and rocks, waterfall. not deep, but enough for kayaking unless there’s drought. People mostly wade and float in the water. Some trails are challenging, but an active kid would have no problem. The only negative is the growing number of visitors that litter, and don’t respect nature. Turkey Creek does not have enough staff to pick up after these people constantly. If you go, please help by being respectful and take pride in the park because it belongs to you."
"One of my favorite places to visit! Took my wife and kids, we had an awesome time! Laughs, slip and falls and whatever else you could expect from a place like this! Enjoy seeing everyone have a good time."
"Beautiful setting and free with donation suggested of $5 it's well worth your time. Cut the cord and get out and see nature. It won't disappoint. The waterfall level was a little low but you could still tube and enjoy the cool water. Many places to swim and stay cool. Loved it. Highly recommend the visit. Only disappointing post is the stupid litter bugs, which was minimal but like most places now a days noticeable. Leave no footprint people. It's God's beautiful creation not your trash can."
