Reviews
"A great one hour hike for you Vanners. Immersion right in the wetlands and creek. A fine walkway takes you over the top. Glad I stopped."
"I've been here twice now and have experienced two of the trails here. It's beautiful and fun. The boardwalk loop is near the information center and very nice albeit a short walk. There's another loop up the road which includes a vantage of a birding marsh and beaver lodge."
"Beautiful place. Have visited in fall. Pristine nature and trails. Lovely colors and a very nice location to spend some peaceful time and watch birds."
"My husband and I have done several trails and have loved them! They were super clean and we'll taken care of. The area was beautiful and we saw lots of wildlife. Super easy trails to hike for all skill levels, I think they would be great easy hikes for kids as long as the distance isn't too far."
"We go fishing from the boat launch area all the time. It's a beautiful place to relax and enjoy nature. The facilities here are usually clean and easily accessible. If you're looking to get away from it all and enjoy the outdoors for a little bit, come here for a nice walk or some good fishing in the Mississquoi River!"
