Confirmed from Birdsong Nature Center's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Nature preserve offering trails for viewing local birds and plants in their natural habitats.
What runners say about Birdsong Nature Center
“Cheryl is such a beautiful welcoming person to greet you as you enter and offer invaluable information about the center and surrounding areas.”
“Here is really calm and enjoyable place you can reach easily near Tallahassee and Thomasville.”
I loved this place! It really was affordable, very relaxing and beautiful! It really had alot of things, such as nature trails, and a cabin and a gift shop! I was met by Ms. Lynette, who met me at the welcoming post, and she was very helpful and knowledgeable about the nature center.
What a great find! A beautiful spot for birdwatching. The window room provides the opportunity to watch birds and other wildlife up close! The Listening place is a secluded screened in space to sit and listen to birds, insects, and other noises in nature.
Excellent place to go birding. The old house has been converted to a unique bird window and there is a nice listening area next to the bay swamp. The property boasts twelve miles of trails through a variety of north Florida habitats. The property is well maintained and the docents are knowledgeable.
I love going to the Birdsong Nature Center. It is a great place to become one with nature. There is alot of walking trails to get some great exercise. Beautiful and diverse sites to be seen. Or you relax at the bird feeders. Check out the butterflies in the butterfly garden. The gift shop has some great gifts.
