Lovely place to take a walk, listen to birdsongs, and appreciate the natural world -- with only *some* nearby traffic noise.

We went for a walk on the day before Labor Day, a cooler day from the day before. It’s always a nice walk in the woods, with a few ponds to add interest. It’s a great place to visit, if you are a nature lover like me! Can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful spot for a hike! It's nice at all times of year. Note that the trails are fairly short, so don't plan on an especially long trip.

Take a stroll through the wooded trails, or sit at a lookout over the water to enjoy the birds (and other wildlife). Restrooms located inside the nature center.
