Confirmed from Crescent Bend Nature Park'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 park featuring a walking trail, restrooms & blinds for watching birds & other wildlife.

We wanted a nice hike for my 75th birthday. Crescent Bend was a perfect choice. We paid a lot of attention to grass and bugs this time. When took a path to the creek, we encountered 4 beautiful crested regrets. The bird-viewing blinds were crowded, but we're able to enjoy them, too. This park is a hidden gem!
This is my favorite park in the area. Different walking paths are either paved, sand gravel or natural. Lots of different wildflowers and two bird blinds that are incredible, especially if you're lucky enough to be under the tin roof during a rainstorm
Oh my goodness this whole place is gorgeous. I used to live in Wisconsin so I like to think I have good taste in what makes a good nature park. It is not overly populated, there are plenty of wtching areas that are well maintained, there are tracks everywhere, there are info plaques, it's gorgeous and full of life.
This is a well manicured trail. There’s paved trails and I believe two bird blinds. I was only able to see one, and when I got there so the birds flew. It’s relaxing and in the middle of the trail you’ll find a creek. The entrance has a bulletin board with monthly activities the city is hosting.
