Drove by Tillman Road Wildlife Park and felt compelled to check it out. It is generally an easy walk for most (not wheelchair or handicap friendly). There are some inclines with loose gravel / sand along with some narrowing trails.
It was dry when we went, as there hasn't been any measure able rain in a month. I could see low spots that would make a hike more of an adventure, if the ground was wet.

Read moreBeen coming here for over 20 years. There are swamps, multiple ponds, grassfield's and walkways with wildlife everywhere. From deer to waterfowl to turtles and other amphibians the animal life is everywhere. Assorted plant life and insect life is everywhere. A great place to come with the family or for a learning adventure. It is a carry and carryout Park. The only downfall is no restrooms. It is possible to see just about every form of life while on The preserve. Four stars just because of no restrooms! It is enormous with...
