Reviews
"The Nature Center was a great museum for all ages, with clean restrooms, and an outdoor amphitheater, and ample accessible parking spaces. There are many interesting historical areas, and several trails of varying difficulty, and I'm told that there are park benches along the way, but I only walked far enough to find one of them. I highly recommend visiting this fascinating place."
"Quiet and serene. Beautiful views and a nice little stroll through the woods. Paths are clearly marked and the staff is wonderful. Just watch out for the turtle if you go inside. He may be wondering around the building."
"Ample parking, clean facilities & lots of trails. Enjoy!"
"Stopped by after spending the morning at Chief Logan to top off a day of hiking, and went on the Orange Trail. It was FANTASTIC! The trail was clearly marked and had an excellent view of Little Coal! We are definitely planning on returning and spending more time here!"
"The new facility is AMAZING. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The trail is an excellent condition."
