Reviews of Goodenow Grove Nature Preserve
"Stopped here on a lark yesterday, and once again were immediately transported into the natural world. As the leaves fall, numerous nests are revealed. Birdsong filled the air, punctuated by crickets and/or frogs. The bridge near the nature center falls between two majestic oaks. Some blue-tinted birds played between the trees and the fire pit below. Purple flowers remain to entice birds that remain. Startlingly a lone mushroom out in the open drew us in see photo below. A short thirty minutes later we left refreshed in spirit and hopeful that the wait list we are on for one of the various programs offered will open up."
"Nice outdoor recreation center. Great for a walk with the kids. We love the view and the picnic area!."
"Great trail to hike alone or with company. Varied views and scenery. Facilities at thoughtful intervals."
"Nice area with several walking trails. Maps show trail locations and distances. Signs include surface type and inclines. There is a small nature center. There are some pavilions for picknicing (reservations may be required). There are also camping locations. Horses are allowed on some trails and there is a seperate lot for horse trailers. Hours run 8 AM to sunset."
"We walked along beautifully maintained trails that varied between pavement, gravel and dirt trails. This is a perfect place if you need flat wide trails. Handicap are welcome here. There are picnic tables set up for wheelchair access. We did not see a speck of garbage anywhere!! The out houses are clean too. We are lucky to have this park."
