Pleasant Valley Preserve

"Easy, flat walking trails here. The one trail goes over a bridge, by a marsh, then up to a pond and beyond. I have been here twice and both times, as soon as we passed the pond, the deer flies were so thick we turned back. Through the grassland before the bridge, there are pathes cut through, so we took those. Lots of birds to be seen. There were several really cool snakes by the bridge area. This is Preserve is dog friendly"

"How did I go this long without checking this awesome place out. Amazing."

"Lovely moderate trail, not too long. Welcome shade this time of the hot summer, with some easy to evade muddy patches (probably an issue in the fall). Pleasant scenery, quiet. Leashed dogs accepted. Sufficient signage"

"The trails offer the ability for a nice hike in peaceful woods. The elevation changes really get your heart going but are not to difficult to traverse. Whomever takes care of the trails does a good job. We were able to bring our children as well. If you want a place to enjoy nature and go on a hike, I recommend Pleasant Valley Preserve."

"We arrived April 16th and the road was blocked with the sign that said “limited winter maintenance”. We parked on the side of the road and were still able to walk the dirt road to the start of the trails. We walked through 2-3 inches of water in places. Once past the overflow the trails were well marked and it was an enjoyable walk."
