Nice little hike/walk, easy in most spots, some parts of the trails were very muddy/swamp like it probably dries up in warmer weather. Beautiful area, easy walk for my 4 year old.

A beautiful walk in the forest. There were no bugs on a late Fall day. We took the Pond (Blue) trail, which I think is about 1 mile loop. Trails are well marked. If not for the trail markings, it would be a quite a challenge to find the leaves covered trails in fall season. Small covered bridge adds a rustic charm. Kids friendly trails.

Love this place, tucked away in suburbia...a hidden gem. The trails are quite nice, well groomed and scenic in places. You can walk more than two miles here if you do both loop trails separately. Most everything is in the woods, a great place to be on a hot summer day.

Love this place. Great starter trail for young kids. Especially because of the educational posts, the lake/river, the little bridges and the covered bridge and it even has pokemon go gyms and stops. Its gorgeous in the peak on summer so green!

My kids enjoy this short loop hike that is perfect for young ones. There is a little stream along the trail as you begin. The trail leads to stairs down to a walking covered bridge crossing the stream. The loop goes around the pond over bridges, up and down stairs and into a wooded area. There are a few places to sit along the way for a snack or rest. My pedometer says 1.49 miles for the two loops combined. (Blue to yellow back to blue)

Very nice spot for a quick 20-30 min hike. Seemed very peaceful.

Very nice hiking trail. Has multiple trails. I followed the blue but there's 2 others I believe. The front has a picture of what to expect when you get there. Nice stream once you start. Beautiful bridge to follow. Everyone there is friendly and dig friendly. Have benches about every 50ft. Simply loved it. You won't get lost, just follow the painted trees

Nice trail with lots of wildlife including turtles, birds, and beavers. There is a covered bridge and stairs built around the trail that make it easier to navigate. Very pretty pond.

This place was perfect for the budding Naturalist and explorer my 8yr old kid wants to be! The informative plaques placed around the nature park made it fun learning about the environment. We did a nature scavenger hunt that my kid had a blast doing. And to have a place like this in my backyard is a bonus!!!!!

Trails are an easy walk for my preschooler. A few areas are a bit soupy in the spring and after rain. Look for ducks, geese and turtles in the pond. I've also seen muskrats and a big piliated woodpecker. There are a few spots that get you right next to the stream where the kids love playing with the rocks.

A beautiful trail. I loved it, and I'm planning on coming back to see how it looks during all seasons. great way to spend an afternoon. There's a lot of water here, so bring some bug spray during mosquito season
