Please note the trail closings in the area of the nature center.

Reminder- the trails near the Nature Center are closed 7 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday.
We need help with unauthorized trail traffic in the Nature Cenfer Area. Our new nature center and a much needed new bridge are under construction. We apologize for the inconvenience but it will result in better accessibility, nicer restrooms, amazing educational space, and new experiences. For safety and to minimize interruptions to the speed of projects, please keep off the trails during closure times.
