A very special place.

A very special place.

Surrounded by the sounds of wildlife instead of the city. If you go patiently, quietly enough, expect some close encounters with local wildlife. My son and I were fortunate to see everything from deer to woodpeckers up close. And a skunk, sorry we didn't hang around to take a picture of that, haha.

Don't underestimate how much there is to see here, the trails alone easily add up to a couple miles. So plan ahead to take some time here. It's worth it.

There is a dedicated play area for small children, however it was under construction last time we were there. I intend to come back with the kids and check it out though- what I saw from the outside looks wonderful.

There is a paved walk\bike trail nearby that goes almost straight to Jefferson Park.

Professional photographers are required to purchase a permit first.

No biking, these trails are foot traffic only. Mostly level terrain, well maintained. Nothing narrow or difficult.
