Reviews
"A peaceful environment to watch and listen to birds and wildlife. They made a raised boardwalk that circles around a short walk through the woods. However there were places under water and muddy, Normally I would say safe for wheelchair access. There is a pleasant gazebo overlooking the water; nice for lunch or reflection."
"I love coming here! It’s a beautiful park and nature trail. I’ve come for photo sessions and just to hang out with my family. The trails are well maintained and honestly it’s really relaxing. Away from the roads, from the noise and it’s loaded with wildlife! It’s a must see location!"
"Easy walking path, mostly well maintained paths, wooden bridges with seating areas throughout the woods."
"This is a wonderful nature reserve. It takes about thirty minutes to walk around it, dogs are on leash. Its gravel, so easy on the feet. You can push a wheelchair around without a problem. There are lots of benches and lookouts to see the wildlife. Great place for children of all ages. There are porta potties in the parking area."
"Just went there for the 1st time (Aug2018). We were looking for somewhere different to go and stumbled upon this location. Extremely glad we did. This place went beyond my expectations...ABSOLUTEY BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Family friendly trail. Easy path, that is laid out with a well thought out and maintained walkway, for exceptional convenience. However, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BUG SPRAY. You are in the woods so expect it to be buggy. Don't rush go at a slow pace. It's much more enjoyable considering it's only a mile. Lots to see if you're paying attention. Look around...up, down and all around. There's not a public bathroom but they do provide Sandy Cans. Our Family would like to say THANK YOU to whomever is responsible for making this available to the public for FREE."
