We weren't really sure about this and it turned out to be a beautiful nature hike. The Japanese gardens are so pretty

Manicured pathways lead you through beautiful, forested areas and to a lovely home which is open for viewing. The highlight for me was another home of Japanese architecture. A wonderful way to spend a couple of hours.

We did the hike, and it was absolutely beautiful. We even spotted a bald eagle in a tree above the water. Some areas were off limits due to a wedding, but it was still an amazing place to visit.
