Okay, let me start by saying this is a beautiful area with an array of paths leading through brush, fields, and wooded areas. That is when you walk the entirety of the three properties, at least! Schroeter, Weatherbee, and Secrest The trails wind and weave, going over hills and through the woods. There are mud puddles, and I am sure they get bad after it has rained recently. Today is the third day of dry, mid 80 degree temps and the mud is still aggressive. Saying that though, it is not anything unmanageable, just grab some boots and you should be good. Beyond that, you may see birds, squirrels, snakes, deer, and more throughout your walk! Plus, this area is infrequently populated, so enjoy a beautiful, peaceful day hiking this park!
Such a beautiful area!! However, during the first week of May, we were hearing lots of insect activity in the leaves in the woods. The next morning, my husband discovered a deer tick on the back of his leg. This place seems to be overrun with ticks, so use precautions if you want to hike here during tick season.
Love this park!! Great place to escape the city.. no ones ever really here. I can let my dog run free with no one else around. Live how they cleaned it up in recent years too. Bring back old times!
Beautiful combination park and nature preserve with wide groomed grass trails, woods, and an open wildflower field; quiet and secluded.
Lovely park for a walk.
Great out door experience. Nice trails. Horses only allowed when the ground is dry.
Awesome what they did to the park. I lived across from the park before it was a park back in the early 70's and we kept our horse's in the pasture what is now the preserve. It was nice to walk through it again and remember a lot of good times spent there in my youth.
