"Lower Gold Camp rd and her beautiful features, sights, and sounds. Will instantly relax you and cure you of an and all depression, anxiety, and etc feelings."
"I can't believe I had no idea this was here... almost drove past it so we errrrrched and turned in... great place with trails to walk or ride bikes... there is a little area behind the building of the nature center that is covered with picnic tables... the creek runs right by and through it... designated trails for dogs, and they must be leashed... beautiful, so green and lush! Very well kept... few benches around to sit and enjoy moments"
"Came here today to go on a hike, I didn't know what to expect, but it was better than I thought. To start, there is a building where you can look at all the interesting facts about the nature center, which was a pretty cool thing to see. Then, there's also a ton of hiking trails and loops you can do, I got some great views of the mountains and nature. And there's tons of trails to explore. Overall, I recommend going to the Bear Creek Nature Center."
"My friend, our daughters and I came here for an interactive nature class and we all absolutely loved it. There was story telling, a short hike, and crafting - all of which was fun for our kiddos! The instructor was incredibly patient, kind, and gentle with the children and I’d love to come back."
"Very very beautiful, omg the air was so fresh and the pines trees, OMG, so fresh smelling. This place have absolutely beautiful places to visit and every where you turn, there's a picture moment, so have your phone and Camera ready because you're going to be snapping every chance you get.
