Conrad & Viola McGrew Nature Preserve

Love to walk this path before picking my son up from school. Have seen owls and all sorts of other birds and one really large black (rat) snake and several water snakes. There is also a mad looking cat. Lots to see on this short walk.

I see that someone else also finds this trail hard to locate. I find it easiest to enter the trail at the north end which is off of Inverness Dr down the hill west of the Quail Run Elementary school. I generally park by the road by the school playground (on weekdays) or at the school (on weekends).

4/2022 We found a rat snake in a tree. We read they could climb, so I guess it should not be too surprising.

Beautiful trail tucked in a neighborhood. Well maintained. Walkers and dog walkers all respectful of space and each other.

been pretty much the same for 20+ years, the crossings are different, and so are the women who run there, but it's a juvenile memory for me that is largely the same, easy path, fewer hooligan children

Its just a 0.6 mile walk next to a stream.
It is very well kept tho

I run through this a couple times a week. It's really pretty.

Great place for a walk

Peaceful

This is a nice "into the woods" feel within the city limits. Some really good spots for pictures too. Used this bridge for some lovely frameable shots of my children.
We will definitely be going back to explore more of this trail.
The only hang up I have of this is access to the actual trail!! It was a bit frustrating following the GPS to get there.
We found that parking at Quail Run School, and walking down the street to one of the openings of this trail was our best option. I imagine this might be a lot more difficult during the school year.

Very nice trail. Several neat bridges over the little creek. Parking is kind of bad though.
