👍 I stopped here on a whim. I just wanted a place I could park and sit and not be bothered. There’s a small parking lot that I could do just that. I sat and listened to the birds and nature sounds. I could see a sidewalk, so I’m pretty sure there is a trail. Which I’d like to check out in the future....

👍👍 Nice long boardwalk. Perfect for running without having to cross streets. Nice assortment of plant life along the trail as well.

👍👍 A great patch of nature in the middle of the suburbs! On the edge of Crystal Airport, it has walking trails, wood walkways over swampy areas. You'll see wildlife, including an occasional deer. Bring your kids, and your dog for a nice nature walk.
