Asherwood Nature Preserve - ACRES Land Trust

"Very beautiful and peaceful, I was able to enjoy nature and all that God has created. One word to say perfect."

"Beautiful spring walk through Asherwood Nature Preserve on the deer trail. Undergrowth is popping and trees are budding. Towering, mature trees are throughout the forest. ACRES Land Trust does wonderful work."

"Absolutely beautiful! In mid-October the woods were almost entirely yellow. There are a few hills that may be difficult if you have bad knees but I think the average walker would have little difficulty on the trail. Depending on the trail you take (they're all intertwined, like horseshoes off the main Tulip Trail) there are a couple bridges over the little creek and some paths right on the edge of a hill with no railing (I wouldn't recommend taking small kids). I saw only 4 other people in the 3 hrs I was there (it's only 2.4 miles total - I just stopped for a lot of photos!). There are areas you can sit that would be nice for group activities (by the parking lot & there was one spot that had a little podium and a few rows of benches). There is an environmental science center that I'm assuming is for student visits. I met the caretaker who lives on site. It is well taken care of and I will be back!"

"A really nice woodland walk, with intersections on a stream that were great for giving my dog a place to drink water. Definitely on the primitive side but that’s what I came for! It was super quiet. We saw a deer, hawk, ground squirrels, and lots of little frogs in the frog pond. The trails would be great for kids, or anyone who doesn’t want to worry about tripping over lots of roots and rocks. Also there’s about .3-.4 mile paved trail. I took a picture of the trail at the parking area and used that as a guide as I explored. Will definitely come back!"

"Pretty walk, not spectacular, woods and more woods but I like woods. Some of the path was sidewalk quality, some marked paths overgrown. Bridges are kinda dicey. I liked it, l'll go again."
