Mostly flat loop with a couple of steeper sections on the south end. Passes through a wide variety of habitats: prairie, forest, and wetland. Above average bird viewing. Check yourself for ticks when you finish.
Well maintain. Easy hike.
Have hiked it in all seasons. Good place to train for an off road trail race. Lots of families near the nature center during the day, but the trail is pretty empty of people around sundown. Seen wild deer and turkeys.
Great park with a good amount of trails to walk. Lots of animals and things to see, nice spots for picnics. We saw wild turkeys, turtles, frogs, and butterflies. No dogs allowed :(
Great metro trail system. Love the cross country ski option

A fantastic resource in the city. Nice, family friendly trails, as well as some a little more difficult. Knowledgeable staff, great for kids.
A fantastic place to learn about animals native to the area. Many fun trails and resources, especially the Destination for Discovery. Fantastic summer camps and pre-k programs. A wonderful place to volunteer, definitely worth a visit.
