Such a beautiful spot! Wooden walkway nature trail with sculptures. So glad I didn't miss it!

Great walking pathes and wildlife opportunities. Double check closures for hunting season. All trails had note worthy elevation gain and loss, uneven terrain and varying trail quality. All trails were well marked.

Beautiful boardwalk with amazing views throughout. The boardwalk was shorter than I expected but still was nice and amongst the boardwalk was a small pond and if you look closely you can see the fish swim. The trail was unfortunately closed due to it being vandalized and the art sculpture stolen. The trail did look steep and not like a beginner trail from what I could see. Great place to visit and hangout. They had one picnic table and the bathrooms were also closed. Also, there is a sign right before the boardwalk that says no dogs.

Such a beautiful place to visit. Great area to hike with the whole family! Come with a good pair of hiking boots if you go up the hill. Otherwise you can stroll around the wetlands. We spotted a beautiful Heron on our last visit!
There is a geocache there too. As well as a Pokémon Go gym for the kids!

Hike not suitable for the unsteady, however, there is a nice short boardwalk suitable for all. Trail has steep climb at the beginning. Wet, muddy, and slick. Come prepared to get muddy. Trail needs some maintenance and is a little overgrown. Beautiful scenery.

Tons of birds and other wildlife. The cutthroat trail is easily accessible and a great spot to stretch your legs.The upper loop has some beautiful views but might be a bit much for beginners or young kids. Bathrooms have been closed for over a year.I wouldn't spend all day here,but it's worth a look if you're in the area.
