WOW who knew this great place was so close! Lots of trails to hike, from easy to difficult, but nothing extreme. Great spring flowers, can't wait to go back to see all the wildflowers.

Great place to get out in nature. Several trails, variety of trees, woods, prairies, water, flora, fauna. Not many people; still a relatively well-kept secret. Interesting any time of year.
