Nature Trail
Easy loop perfect for a family hike or morning jog. Trail guide brochures are available for purchase ($1.50) or to borrow and return. Great for practicing track and scat identification and looking for wildflowers in the Spring. There is a small seasonal creek that crosses the middle of the trail with a wood bridge.

The map below was created using GPS. The fully interactive map with an elevation profile
tool can be found at Wikiloc. Wikiloc is not only a great website to share GPS tracks and waypoints, but a fantastic place to read about trails!

Dogs
Dogs are wonderful animals that give comfort and companionship. However, the nature center is not the best place for them. Dogs chase, scare and can transmit diseases to wild animals such as nesting birds or mammals. Dogs leave behind a "predator" scent typical of all wild canines like wolves and coyotes. This scent can linger in the area for long periods of time and can disrupt or alter the behavior of the native animals the nature center has been set aside to protect and teach about.
Dogs are not permitted on trail except service dogs.
