This was a really fun adventure. Climbing thru the trees and navigating obstacles. Physically challenging and loads of fun! My wife and I had to tap out, while our daughters continued. They were able to complete the red course (most challenging)!!
Patrick BonerJun 28, 2026This is our first and it was amazing. The trail was marked and directions was clear. We wanted to go on the river boardwalk trail but it was close for construction. The lake was well kept and our kids enjoyed it. We’ll definitely come back for the river boardwalk trail.
TV HJun 20, 2026Nice trails to hike. The lady working the desk at the nature center was friendly and helpful The trail we wanted to walk was not listed as losed online but we were told it was closed when we got there.
Woodworker24Jun 19, 2026Awesome nature center. Lots of hiking trails and the quarry is reely neat. Parking is cheap and admission is free.
Michael FaithJun 15, 2026A great little hike and nice views of the river. Parking is $5 and they have a nice little visitor’s center with a little pond full of newts and tadpoles. Was a bit muddy when we were there but worth the hike down the hill to the boardwalk!
Kevin HintonMay 25, 2026So many fun trails! We ultimately decided on the river walk and we were not disappointed. Took about an hour with moderate pacing. There is poison ivy off trail, so be wary. There are signs though, so don't complain about not being warned. Wonderful outing if you want to stretch your legs a bit with an easy hike. Great date idea. They have other trails, some longer, others shorter. The choice is yours. They have a cute nature center with some rescued wildlife and gift shop. We left with some stickers and a t-shirt because they had some funny ones. We also liked the idea of spending a little money to support a public park's care. However, you can manage a free trip if you don't buy souvenirs and park elsewhere and walk to the center as they do charge a smidge for parking. Again, I didn't mind because I know it goes to support a family friendly, outdoor activity.
