A very friendly staff of volunteers. There was a man outside the visitor center who was very helpful finding things. The ladies who ran the Wilderness wagon were super knowledgeable. The hostess in the Bascom house was a delight. We had a beautiful day there. I suggest you pack a lunch and spend the entire day. Family friendly.
Shaw Nature Reserve is a beautiful place to hike and take pictures year round. It's nature at its best. The staff is friendly too.
Beautiful place, and I love how educational everything is. I see something new every time I'm there.
Saw the Dust Covers play at the Bascomb House. I fell in love with the place.
Gorgeous, peaceful, and incredibly quiet.
Great trails to hike to the river. Forests, wetlands, and prairies all in one spectacular setting. Stop by the visitor's center to learn about all the native plants you will encounter.
an awesome place to hike and visit. The hike with Andy is so informative and have learned so much.
Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful scenery of each visit; along with the awesome volunteers and staff members. Just became a member and looking forward to upcoming trips this summer and fall.
