A great place for a short hike. The trails here are populated you will see one or two people on your travels sometimes you'll see a whole class out there. The bridge that crossesvthe marsh is a great vantage point for all sorts of Wildlife. Some beavers live here and you see their handiwork on some of the chiseled down trees... As well as their big beaver hut in the middle of the lake. If you go past the Pavilion on the Eastern side where the marsh Trail lets out you can go down some stairs and you're greeted with a giant Hill which is great for training for things like obstacle course races. the incline is rather steep and when you get to the top it connects to a trail that you can follow all the way down.

Dogs must be on a leash there are Foresters that will get on your case and for good reason... There are a ton of deer in this park and your dog may run off for miles and never find their way back or they might bother some of the other people on the trail. Your chance of seeing deer in the Nature Preserve is a near 100%.

There's a place where you can park near the mouth of where the marsh Trail lets out to the street... And there is a nice big trail map. Google Maps has a rather accurate map as well. Have fun out there and check yourself for ticks!
