“Makes for a Great Impromptu Adventure”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

Dad and I weren't sure what exactly to expect when we walked the slough last summer. In fact, neither of us had given the place much notice on our frequent walks along Six Mile Cyprus. In the end, it turned out to be a great detour. The boardwalk trail made for great phone photo ops and the atmosphere was amazing. In all it wasn’t too long or too short of a self-guided tour. All in all, it’s a very relaxing retreat on less occupied days that will make you work up a bit of a sweet, and enjoy every minute of it. It’s definitely a place adults will enjoy more than some children because of the serenity and slow pace. Still, it has the potential to be the best outing for your family when done right. There’s plenty to learn in the slough.

“Peaceful and Pretty.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 1, 2012

Nice, peaceful nature walk. Relaxing and grounding. Not too big, not too small. Good little outing, more for adults and the silence of nature is enjoyable. Occasionally seen some wild pigs, and a few other animals. It's a nice walk to calm your mind.

We loved the boardwalk trail. Special place. It was a quick hike with several resting points and viewing stations. Very clean!

“love the Slough”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 25, 2012

we park and walk there 2 to 3 times a week. We feels safe and secure there. the parking is $1.00 for an hour and that is how long it takes us to walk. we walk to stay in shape and there are no really safe places here in this area. It is all boardwalk and shaded.
