I spent 45 minutes of my hike, trying to figure out where I was and where I wanted to go. The map and way finding is bad. The map was in black and white while the trails were color-coded. And there were also trailheads that were not even on the map. And they charge $7 for this.

Husband took me here for my birthday, these are the reasons it wasn't worth the money. 1. There is very little to see inside or out2. Mostly woods with dirt trails and tree roots3. The map they give you sucks!Now, if you like walking in woods with trails of dirt and very few signs telling you were to go, then this place is for you.The wildflowers are pretty, but butterflies were few and too far away for pictures..Sorry, but we will not be going back!!

Our 17 month old loved our afternoon here. We arrived in the area that morning and wanted some outside time. He loved the trails and the Center itself with a couple turtles that were a big hit. Was some nice family time!

Stopped by this nature preserve on the way back home from the Gilmore car museum. It was a nice location and some nice very easy trails.

We had a great day exploring the trails and the descriptions and everything were just perfect. Trail descriptions are very accurate as well as their difficulty level. We will definitely be back soon.
