These folks put their hearts and souls into conserving nature...& it's not free to do so. There's a visitor center, gift shop, and walking trails. Spring-fed marsh, wildflowers, wooded areas, tall-grass, and so on. You can sometimes spot an armadillo or two scurrying about (along with other critters). There's a Monarch Butterfly research field to check out too. They have learning center and auditorium too. Really beautiful way to spend a day in nature.

It was in August and incredibly hot outside, but it was so nice inside and we had a great view of the farm in the back!

Everything is super maintained than most parks I've been before! I usually go with my MIL, my baby girl and our dogs to get them some exercise as well and try to do 1-2 miles each time we are here. Depending on what trails you walk/hike on, theres some with shade and some that you will hit up the blazing sun, but with fall upon it hasn't been horrible! Everyone who hikes here are really respectful with the trails/area which is such a pleasant thing as there's usually not a lot of people who do that now a days. Will of course be returning weekly to get our steps in and vitamin D!

This was actually a great place to come visit with the family on spring break! The weather was…read moreperfect, wasn't overcrowded, plenty of places to sit and enjoy fresh air. Loved they had a dog park and a playground you can take your kids to. There are places you can even go fishing if you want or just sit by the water to relax. Loved how there were plenty of signs around too talking about the animals and plants common there. Good information about the park too and didn't feel I would get lost either (good flat paths you can take). I barely saw any trash flying around either and could tell they keep this park well kept. I absolutely plan to come back here in the future when I have time. Definitely worth the visit!

Came here for my birthday…read moreand will note that trophy hunts can be expensive but wanted a trophy whitetail and elk experience and left extremely satisfied. Had the whole lodge to ourselves and Sloane and Nancy served up absolutely delicious gourmet meals. Chance and Dylan were extremely patient, helpful and transparent with what they had to offer in terms of hunting and catered the entire experience to what I wanted. They are more known for their trophy elk and other exotics and although I did a "safari style" hunt which allowed me to see all aspects of the ranch and other exotics, they certainly offer hunting out of stands or other traditional methods but would definitely advise using their hunting rifles since they already come silenced, serviced and sighted in. I went with their taxidermist of choice who was recommended but little disappointed that they have an 18 month waiting list and would consider shopping around for other potential taxidermists as the only one downside.

The walk includes a long and interesting introduction to the Park, along with pointing out special habitats and plants native to the area. The place was given to Greenspace in 2010 and trails were created in 2014. Since they are still trying to preserve the area, only a small group is allowed in at once. There's also several volunteer opportunities! The area is heavily shaded with cedar and juniper with a cool look out to a pond where migrating birds often can be seen (depending on the season and your luck). I'm sure this place will be teaming with people very soon -- in the next year or so? There is also a talk given by a Master bee specialist that is super neat. You can try some of the raw honey he harvests both in the reserve and at his home.
