Peterson Lake Nature Center

One of my absolute favorite nature spots in the Memphis area! The well-maintained boardwalk makes walking easy. You pass small lakes, swamps and bald cypress trees on the route to the Wolf River. You can also continue on a trail into the forest. So lush!

Very very nice place to visit

Great hiking trail that is in Johnson Park. The first .6 it so miles is a board walk. Your on a nature trail, so you will see various trees, flowers, wild life, and usually several other people ( some with a dog). It has many options to take longer walks. I am uploading a photo of the map posted at the entrance. The one we do is 1.29 miles there and back. The turn around point for us is the river. It is a pretty spot to see. Along the board walk, you have benches to rest or sit and enjoy the beauty. The seasons play a huge part of what you will see. Spring is the prettiest to me. But we love to walk it all year. Being part of the park gives you access to bathrooms as well. There is a picnic area at the start. Great to bring sandwiches. If you want a smaller walk, the pond at the entrance is a .6 mile walk. Like the trail, it has benches to sit and rest or enjoy the beauty. It is an asphalt path. Has a long wooden bridge section in the back of the trail. If you want a pleasant walk, this is one.

Great boardwalk for a stroll or run to the Wolf River.

We had a 5K in the park today and it was gorgeous! Even if it was freezing and the trails had been turned to mud by the runners faster than me. It was beautiful, and I plan to go back to visit without 500 of my closest friends.

If you can park (if there's no game happening in the park), you will have a nice time. Always something eye-catching. Prepare how you would for any other day outdoors and it will be really nice. I'd be impressed with someone who managed not to enjoy their day here.

One of the beautiful walking trail in Collierville, particularly the board walk and wolf river view. Early morning walk will be awesome with family and friends.

Wonderful, clean, safe and educational. Excellent hiking and biking trails. Spectacular Autumn scenery.
