A child-friendly wooded oasis in Auburn. For adults and seniors it's a pleasant 2 to 4 mile walk/hike on 120 pretty acres. Paper maps are available in an outdoor classroom located past the entry pavilion (also called the Nature Center). Look for a large open-sided structure. There is plenty of trail signage and once you have a map, finding your way is fairly easy. The Nature Center/entry pavilion has restrooms.

This is an awesome place if you enjoy walks through nature. They have a playground, garden, education center and have a good bit of events. They also do nature education themed birthday parties, my daughter loved it. They have some insects, reptiles, and amphibians in their education center which are fun to see if it is open. I'm really looking forward to the sensory garden. Just know, they don't allow dogs.

Love coming here for hikes and geocaching with my family. Great trails for my 5 and 10 year old boys to burn off some energy with a fun playground. Perfect way to spend time outdoors in nature away from screens! UPDATE: the stuck collection is impeccable. Many magic wands, light sabers, and rocket launches were found. Imaginations always nurtured in nature.

A hidden gem in Auburn with lots of hiking trails. The fairy garden is cute. The hidden waterfall is worth the hike. My only suggestion is post trail maps around where some of the trails intersect or at least have a trail map on your website. I definitely could have used it when I was trying to find my way back to where I came in at.

I had an incredible experience trail running at the Kreher Preserve & Nature Center! The trails are well-maintained and offer a perfect mix of challenge and beauty. The scenery is stunning, with peaceful woods and wildlife all around. It’s a great place to connect with nature and enjoy a workout. I can’t wait to come back!

Lovely forested area on the transition between the Piedmont and Coastal Plain. Well marked trails, lovely sensory garden (although right now they ask for no touching), picnic and playground area, pond, butterfly garden - so many interesting parts to visit. The also have great programs, especially for children.
