Great trail that's just far enough away. Decent amount of people but I would definitely recommend!
nice walking
Easy fun hike!
Love this area for weekly walks.
Beautiful place for kids, beautiful waterfall! Peaceful place for hiking!
Nice easy trail with some great nature viewing.
This was one of the best walks i have ever been on !! I did not know i had a trail this cool around me with such a beautiful waterfall and pretty lake. I will definitely be going back !
Also want to add this is a really nice, well marked trail that was easy for me to walk. I wear a leg brace and sometimes have problems but this path is well lined with chips or wooden walkways.
Loved it !!
pretty nice trail with good wildlife and nice scenery. Trails where well marked and they have plenty of other stuff to do there.
Very pretty multiple trails and waterfall. Easy and convenient. Frequent deer sightings on some trails.
Very kid friendly. Can get crowded.
It was a beautiful walk though a bit muddy this time of year which is expected. I also thought there was more than one waterfall however the waterfall was absolutely worth the drive. I'd come here again to explore other paths it was so pretty.
great hike
Love this trail and it is great for kids, even little ones.
Nice and peaceful. Good amount of wildlife.
Very nice trail
Wonderful trails for hiking. Lots of varieties of plants and animals. In reality there are several different trails, not just the one pictured around the lake. All of them are very well marked. The Nature Center has bathrooms. We saw a number of animals rather close to the trails, including two deer.
Peaceful; nicely wood chipped trail with boardwalks and waterfall. Also saw an array of birds
Very nice with lots of paths that you can explore.
Excellent easy hike to recuperate after a hard day at work. Plenty of wildlife to be seen as well.
It was peaceful.Small waterfall, nice lake.Easy for my son.I liked that it connected to several other trails Easy to follow.
Trails were glare ice, which made it pretty fun to tackle:) The scenery was beautiful.
Love the color coded trails for difficulty level.

Beautiful scenery and wildlife. A little area for kids to play in a log cabin and sandbox. There are easy, moderate, and advanced level trails for all types of hikers. Also classes and fieldtrips for everyone that you can sign up for.
Beautiful trails, well maintained and saw some great wildlife.
Great trail in Whitnall park around the Weir Nature Center. Great for kids.
