This calm, quiet, nature center is a great way to get out and enjoy nature, especially since this center is dedicated to fostering the appreciation of the outdoors. They have a wide variety of educational activities (although you should check the calendar, in case they change things due to COVID): they have trail hikes, photography sessions, beekeeping, and an assortment of children's activities. This is a wonderful place to connect to the outdoors and to learn something interesting at the same time.…

We could have gotten more out of the morning by staying at home.…

One of my favorite hiking places to go to in any season. There are many trails and difficulty levels to choose from. The longest trail is 3.5 miles or so to less than 1/2 mile. There is so much peace and beauty walking through the woods... there are several small rivers in this area as well. The trails are well marked and there is a map of all trails available in the parking lot to take with you as you hike. Wear sturdy shoes!…
