The kids had a great time navigating the trails with their maps. Spent most of our time near the Wildflower Garden. The kids wanted to come back to draw and bird watch. A solid win for Mother Nature!

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.
