Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve

Lovely trails which loop around the main trail. Some loose roots to watch for. Very nice weather when visiting last October. No admission fee and dog friendly too. Nice woodsy area to take in the animals and nature.

Nice little park with small trails. Took approx 50 mins to cover the trials. It was not crowded, ample parking lots, had restrooms and party areas

Peaceful and pristinely maintained park. You can probably do all the trails in 30 or 40 minutes. Every time I've gone at dusk there are bunnies galore. 🐰 there's a free lending library, bathroom, lots of parking, areas for eating, benches for resting and maybe places for camping. Everything was well marked. Felt safe and the beauty of the forest trails was restorative. I could've easily used a jogging stroller and felt that I could've taken a wheelchair on most of these trails (my child uses a wheelchair so ♿️ accessibility is important to our family).

Ritchey Woods is a wonderful place to go for a walk. It's beautiful and never too crowded. There are various trails to have different experiences like small bridges or stream views. There's a small pioneer-era graveyard on one of the trails. There are some benches or tree stumps off some trails to take a rest if desired. There are picnic tables behind the bathrooms so it's a good place for a get-together or to enjoy a meal outdoors. If you arrive early or stay late, you're more likely to see deer grazing which is a nice treat.

Great walking trails! I felt completely immersed in the forest for most of the trail. Turned around before reaching a loop because I'm out of shape. Restroom was surprisingly clean for a park restroom.
