Reviews of Horseshoe Farm Nature Preserve
"Absolutely beautiful location. My only wish is that they make the lower meadow area paved so we can walk on it with our daughter's wheelchair. The Neuse River Greenway is wonderful but would love to be able to do a big loop here without having to turn around while still being able to take her chair."
"Wonderful nature preserve with trail walks along the river and well maintained forest paths."
"This park is so beautiful and peaceful. There is soooo much wide open space making it an ideal park for picnics, frisbee, bike rides, cart wheels (trust me you’ll know what I mean when you get there).. there’s some neat history to the land and the BEST part is the woodsy trails that transport you into (or what feels like) a whole new world. So peaceful and if you come on a later afternoon/early evening for a nice walk, you will truly enjoy!! (:"
"I've been meaning to come by this place for years. We were driving by and my now fiancé decided we should finally go check it out. It was close to sunset and everything here was gorgeous. It also connects to the Greenway system, which is a huge bonus for me. I'd been trying to find the entrance to one specific bridge for years (not too actively though). So we decided to track it down. When we were in the middle of it, he proposed. At sunset. It was phenomenal!"
"I love this spot! Great place for photography and running around. Right off the trail, and there’s even a trail in the park that loops through the woods and pops out on opposite sides. Biked the kids here lots, had picnics, let them run around the field and house, saw snakes and other wildlife, and shot some of my favorite mini fig photos here. Plenty of space, bathrooms, and trail access. Careful of dog poop though, lots of people come here with their pets and assume it’s a free range dumping area."
