Severson Dells Nature Center

This is small park but it has some unique landscape along its creek forming Dells. A portion of the trails leaving the nature center are paved and they stay within the confines of a small wooded area. Further on the trail becomes natural, more hilly and heavily wooded. The creek is the central feature in this part of the park. In the summer this park can be quite busy but the winter is much less active. There are large numbers of humming birds here in season up in front of the nature center so if you are looking to photograph them you are almost guaranteed to see them when it warms up.

The path is very well maintained and scenic. I went there with the intention of bird watching and wasn't disappointed. They have a nice amount of prairie land that I even spotted deer in.

Has miles of trails. And the staff is fantastic! Great walking to get in nature. Has a really nice paved trail as well for those with accessibility issues.
