First time visiting, and on a drizzly Thursday I spent the majority of my day exploring the grounds. Upon arrival I went into the Nature Center paid for my parking and the young lady was very informative and answered all my questions. While there was not much greenery yet the trails are easily accessible and clean! I even saw a few deer grazing deep in the brush. Overall I had a fantastic time and I recommend people come visit!

Great place to go for a little hike and for taking photos. It is $4 to park in the parking lot but they do accept credit or cash. The lady at the desk (so sorry that I forgot your name, you were lovely!) was really nice and informative. Even told me where the prime spots were for photos even though the waterfall was dried up. Even encountered a family of turkeys while I was there. The people I came across were friendly as well.

Really cool place. Our first visit was on Cider Sunday which was a phenomenal event! Loved all the trails. They are open year round and have tons of events. We became members and the price for an annual membership was so reasonable and the costs for the events are also very reasonable. Great local place, an oasis in the city. Beautiful way to get away from screens and out into nature.

Wonderful nature park covering over 200 acres. There are 5 miles of hiking trails which will take you through different habitat areas like wetlands and wooded areas. A stop at the visitor center will answer your questions on the plants and animals that inhabit the area. There is a small fee for parking, restrooms at the visitor center and an ampthetheater where talks are given.
