MoreNice hiking spot right in the city. It's surprising to have this oasis so close to neighborhoods. There's a lake to walk around. Some trails are marked very well and others...not so much. We had printed a map from the website, which helped.
MoreI was there for a wedding this weekend. It was just about the best place I’ve ever been for one. The lodge was so beautiful the grounds were perfect. You can’t ask for much more for a fall weekend wedding!!
MoreWhenever we want to stretch ours and our doggie's legs, we like to walk the trails at Durant. The trails are well maintained and varied. The lake trail is especially interesting as it wanders through the woods, over the two dams and around the lake. Sometimes a snapper is to be seen sunning itself.
MoreMy brother introduced this place to me in 2014/2015 and I’ve been going ever since especially when I need to clear my head. Very beautiful!
