Heard of this place from my mom, looked on Google maps, saw a ton of trails throughout, and we ventured off!!
This place is HUGE! So many paths to take, tons of runners and bikers out there, and Waterview for days!
We managed to get in about 7 miles of walking before we decided we should go get some lunch.

Otherwise a...

The smaller birds, especially the Chickadees, came very close to ask us for seed, which we neglected to bring the first visit. (The nature center staff said they would begin selling birdseed in Oct 2021, however.) On the second visit, we brought bird seed, but the other trails were more travelled and a bit noisier, so the birds didn't seem to be as interested. Highly recommend WildWing trail!
