Indian Creek Nature Center

This nature preserve and protected prairie meadow is a treasure in Linn County. There are beautiful walking trails through all kinds of terrain; wooded, river side and winding through the meadow. Birds and other wildlife are visible with quiet and patience. The changing seasons here are a delight to the senses. Take the time to enjoy the interactive nature center and event space where you will learn about native habitat, plant identification, and bird and animal characteristics. A very nice gift shop is at the center.

Great place for a hike and enjoying nature in the trails anytime of the year. Programs offered are great for kids and adults. My kids did summer camps there and we have done the monarch program, maple syrup program and I have taken the bee class and basket weaving classes. Natures Noel and the spring plant sale are awesome. They have so much to offer, support them!

Great nature walks although a few more signs on trails would have been helpful. Rocks with painted arrows or wooded posts with arrows to help with directions. However we did enjoy the tranquil walks.
