We love this park and the nature center! We are so lucky to have it here in Carmichael. My mom was a docent at a nature center when I was a kid and I did the tours with her on weekends and it made me appreciate and love nature. Our kids need Effie Yeaw Nature Center.

We have visited lots of parks in Sacramento area but this one is our favorite. Most parks in this country are sports oriented but this one is for those who want to get lost in the nature hiding from the stuff we hear and see every day.

We come here every weekend. Sometimes both Sat and Sun

Our niece was especially excited about seeing numerous deer on each trail we took and we definitely shared her enthusiasm. We saw hawks, squirrels, rabbits, turtles and various other types of birds, including geese and woodpeckers.
