Bristol Woods County Park — Attraction in Bristol

The Bristol Woods County Park is a quiet park with ample parking near the Pringle Center, and, closer to the entrance, some parking near the playground and picnic shelter. The park is almost divided into two parts: the prairie-and-lawn open area that comprise the Pringle Center, the picnic shelter, and the playground; and the wooded system of trails.

The picnic shelter can be reserved for events, but its restrooms are available only during the warmer months. The playground is sound but minimal and outdated.

The trails wind through a wood deciduous trees, and the entire system is easy to walk. There many small hills, as the park sits on a natural ridge. Colored trail post markers are easy to read, and the rails are wide and easily navigable. Tree roots, however, are a common trip hazard.

In spring and after rain the trails can be muddy; I always pack a second pair of shoes for...

Okay so I was impressed. I think this was my first time here. I heard quite a lot of wildlife but didn't get a chance to see much outside of birds and some butterflies mating.

I found a few decent things using the app.

I like it here and will be back often, I'm hopeful to capture the growth of spring into summer and see it really come alive. There's an obstacle course which you can walk by but I think it belongs to a separate company, it has ziplines and all...

I found this place through an app in the Android Store, Hiking Projects. Bristol Woods was the closest hiking option.

I like this place better than Pets as it is far more secluded and seems larger.

If you opt to go here, there are a few trails you can take, varying in size from a tenth of a mile or so up to 1.8 miles. This is not flat surface walking - you'll be going up and down hills, so prepare to sweat a bit.

While a vast woods I did not see a lot of wild life, three jays and a couple squirrels and the sound of a woodpecker. However, I jumped a bit when I heard a crashing to my left and found I had surprised a large doe, who was kind enough to stand still so I could get a photo.

Note - the trees are pretty good at blocking the wind so you will likely be able to stay a little warmer than...
