About this place

Added by Adrienne Fleck

Hike trails through beautiful woods, explore various gardens and enjoy wildlife of all kinds.

Take a leisurely stroll around Margaret's Pond while exploring the herb garden, amphitheater and promenade. There are beautiful flowers and trees to encounter here. 

Or if you are feeling a bit more adventurous, hop on the asphalt Sculpture Garden Trail (0.4 mile) which links to the Cottonwood Trail (0.4 mile). This mulched path winds through a wooded area along Wolf Creek. From here, veer off onto Rocky Ridge trail (1 mile), Bluff Loop (1 mile) or West Trail (1 mile). These trails are a bit more rugged with some slight elevation. There are drinking stations sprinkled along the trail. There are deer on these trails as well. Don't miss the Enchanted Forest! 

To really get off the beaten path, there is an option to explore on your own in the prairie.
