Bethania Visitor Center

"This is great place to visit and learn about the history of Bethania. The trails are nice, also."

"Interesting history, beautiful place, serene, nature trails, and just beautiful overall. It it nice that we live near here now and can utilize the trails and enjoy the beauty in history."

"Bethania is a well preserved jem of our regional history. Highly recommend taking the self guided walking tour of the town."

"Always a very pleasant place to walk. It’s been some time that I’ve been here so decided to take my mom and unfortunately it was really overgrown. One of the bridges was out and we passed another that the wood had rotted all the way through. That was a bit dangerous for a child or someone not paying attention. The Black Walnut festival was this last Saturday so I was very surprised that wasn’t fixed. Hopefully on our next trip it’s fixed. Yes, we will be going back.."

"This is one of our favorite places to go for short family hikes. It's nice and flat, follows Muddy Creek, and has beautiful wildflower meadows full of butterflies and honey bees. The problem is that the place is in a total state of disrepair. Bridges are falling apart, trails are overgrown with stinging nettle and poison ivy, and there's no access to the creek without descending a steep eroded bank. It's still worth a visit but the bridges that are still in use are becoming dangerous and will begin to collapse at any point. Wear long pants if you don't want to get stung by nettle or learn to use the jewelweed that grows next to it to make the itch go away."
