Herndon Monroe Wetland Preserve

"Not trying to be cliche but this is really a little hidden gem In Herndon. As of June 2023 it is hard to access because of the houses being built on one side blocking it and the confusing business park on the other. The trail is also a bit overgrown but it is well worth the sight because it is very random and cool for the area. If you are looking to find an access point to the trail and the houses aren't built yet then go from behind the business park, and if the houses are built, it should be a lot easier to find. Highly recommend that you check this out because the trail is super short and has a cool sight."

"Nice little short trail that has a bridge that leads across a big lily pad pond. I saw a lot of turtles, red-winged blackbirds, a blue jay, and a big brown snake. The trail is behind the L3 Harris office building."

"It has a great trail to go to. But it is hard to get to the entrance. You have to park on the other side of Monroe street and then you have to cross the road. Next, you go through a parking lot to get to the entrance. The entrance from the other side is blocked by construction. The trail is short and it only takes about 5 minutes to reach the end of it."

"Stumbled upon this place by accident and was not disappointed! So beautiful and magical!! Not necessarily for long walks or biking but definitely a great place to come see during the summer when the lily pads are completely covering the water"
