Confirmed from Wade Bourne 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.
Playground & walking-trail area with a nature center featuring exhibits, taxidermy & bird feeders.

This is a beautiful facility to learn about local nature and see exhibits of animals and plants. The building has several rooms with different themes and what looks like a classroom area for teaching. There is plenty of parking and beautiful nature trails for hiking.
The bathrooms are amazingly clean and the area is wonderful for kids to play. They also have fun activities around the nature center. You wonderful trails.
clean, spacious bathrooms. very educational with pictures of local birds around the area and a garden they have started with the names of each plant and specifics on how to take care of them and life span.
Beautiful park. The nature center is great it's more geared to the Littles but my 9yr old boy had fun. They had free crafts going the day we went. There's a few animals in the building and a fun area for small kids. The porch has gorgeous views.
