Join us in celebrating the change of the seasons with a Fall Free For All Open Preserve Day! We will have yard games and a couple of fun activities for you to take part in, or you can enjoy the trails on your own! It’s the perfect low-key way to spend a day with the kiddos or friends, or a great chance for a lovely solo stroll on trails with no crowds. And don’t forget your picnic to enjoy down by the creek, under the sprawling oaks, or up at a viewpoint!
Some of the activities you might choose include:
- Enjoy a leisurely nature walk or a trail run- there are 6.5 miles of trails for you to enjoy!
- Have a cornhole tournament!
- Photograph nature!
- Have a picnic!
- Do yoga or meditate!
- Get creative!
