Customer Reviews
I took my mom there while she was visiting me. We attended to Hummingbird Walk and talk guided tour here! Blue Jay, Cardinal, and many hummingbirds welcomed us! Our guide was Eric King, who was great! Will be back in the summer to see the dances of the butterfly 🦋
A beautiful forest to explore, different fungi species & mossy trees to enjoy. I loved exploring down at the "hole" and being one with the earth. The trials can get confusing so read the guide at the entrance. The butterfly garden is small but very cute and we saw hummingbirds! Definitely a place to enjoy if you're a nature lover.
This is a great little park! The trail is probably 30 minutes long. It's not a smooth trail as you will be walking over rocks and roots. But I loved it as it makes it a little bit more challenging!
A hidden gem! Trail was rough and completely immersed in the woods, but easy to follow. Staff was very engaging and answered questions.
Nice hidden gem of a park surrounded by commercial vegetable and horticulture farms. I do recommend wearing sturdy shoes as the trails are rough due to the rocky substrate. But by no means are they rugged. Beautiful front gardens with lots of birds and wildlife.
