Reviews
Beautiful nature preserve with views of the mountains. There are many different paths or trails to choose from. There is also a pavilion (just built) that has picnic tables. It's beautiful in the fall time with all the foliage. The trails have some inclines, but overall not too challenging. Love all the open grassy spaces too. The river is also nice. It was actually pretty clear when we went. Wild asparagus grows on the sides of the paths in certain areas. Can't wait to come and check it out when it's in season.
Except for the suburban homes on the horizon in every direction, this is a few square blocks of dense and thriving NATURE. The wooded entrance from the lot quickly unfolds into an oasis in the foothills, abuzz with bugs, birds, frogs and movement all around. The trails loop through tall prarie grass, thick cattails, cottonwoods and prickly pear cactus. The ponds are bustling with waterfowl going and coming from all directions .
Wildlife refuge with trails for walking and running. Dogs are not allowed. Great for peaceful meditative walks, bird watching, or viewing local plant species.
