Bridge and four trails closed until further notice

The Preserve’s bridge over Thorn Creek is not safe and must remain closed until further notice. Woodland Trail, Owl Lake Trail, and Wetland Trail are also closed — due to the bridge being out.

  • The half-mile Nature Center Loop Trail remains open to the public.
  • Our scheduled naturalist-led programs will be available.
  • The Nature Center is open to the public on Fridays — noon to 4 p.m.
