Beautiful preserve featuring a 3 mile loop. The trail has some decent points of elevation in spots and offers nice views of Fitchie Creek and a pond. The trail wasn't too muddy in early March. Plenty of parking available and restrooms on-site.
Absolutely beautiful vest feels of wildflowers and a stream runs thru it hills deep dark forests we love it because it’s not to well traveled you might encounter one biker or two joggers but the dogs I’m with love it
Really nice trail only a couple people we saw, unfortunately one of the people called 911 because our two gentle dogs were off their leash. That's okay, they're supposed to be leashed. Otherwise really nice place to visit.
Beautiful cold crisp day for a wintery hike. We spied a home of a beaver family nestled on a frozen creek. The wind blowing as it touched our cheeks with its winter's kiss. Through fields and frozen ponds it displayed it's snowy blanket. The sounds of our Snow trax crunching the trail as it whined through the woods. What a season to behold. Be adventurous and go exploring through the many wondrous preserves.
Wide, paved trail. One part is woodsy and the other open. Disability friendly. Lovely place to see balloons.
Embedded map view for quick orientation before visitors head out.
