I went around 7pm on a weekend, and there was a surprising amount of people in the parking lot. The nature center bad already closed but the trail was still open. This trail has a paved and unpaved portion. There's tons of nature and wildlife, I saw countless squirrels, chipmunks, ducks, etc. I also saw a little vole thing? I'm not sure, but it was cute! This trail is really peaceful and quiet. I highly recommend coming here. I'll definitely be back.

Absolutely amazing. With an outdoor playground and great trails. You can make as long or short as you'd like. You can cut across the lake for 1 and 1/2 mi or you can do the whole outer loop which is 3 mi and you can take the ski trail if you want it to be less populated so many options.

SECLUDED GEM! It's nestled in, a Hidden animal refuge in the middle of the city with excellent programming and trails, all year round. Can't wait for the new education center.

It is a wonderfully maintained park with plenty of trails/routes. The trails are not paved, but they're flat so I would say it's relatively stroller friendly. It's a quiet and peaceful area with plenty of space to walk and jog!! And ample free parking!
