Fun little place to learn and enjoy a easier type hike
Such a special and magical place! There are many trail crossings yet each one is marked and extremely well. The trails closer to the nature center have more benches. The center was closing up when I finished my hike and they were very gracious and welcoming. You can tell the facility and staff are very well loved and cared for. There are fairy and herb gardens galore! Great place for imaginations to run wild—children and adults alike. Can’t wait to come back in the warmer months.
Very nice trail for hiking or walking. Mostly flat. Well-maintained paths. Just make sure to use tons of bug spray, even on your face (the only area I left uncovered, and I left with 3 bites on my face).
This is a great park for hiking and walking. It is part of the Great Swamp. A lot of the trails are on boardwalks. It is a good place for bird watching. The trails are all flat, and there are many maps scattered around the park. It is a great place to take kids
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed trails, environment and atmosphere here, however, we did find it difficult to find our way around as trails were not clearly marked so it was a little confusing. Another family said the same thing as we were at one point at the same spot looking to find our way to the parking lot, which, we finally did find but it was a little challenging. We all had our GPS with us too.
This place is worth returning to and I’d highly recommend it.
The educational center was small but very nice, a clean restroom as well as nice art work display from a school in the area.
If you looking for a nice place to spend the day I’d suggest checking it out.
