Great place for a nature walk/hike. Also if you wanna work out its got hills. :)
This is a great place for hiking. There are quite a few trails, and it's very peaceful. We were there in the middle of the morning and even spotted a few deer along our trail.
The trails are well kept and the trails are rated by difficulty so you can easily decide how out of breath you wanna be! I ran across a decent amount of deer while out there so expect to see some wildlife. No dogs allowed though.
The park was very well kept. There were trail markers everywhere, and the trails were fun to walk on. Also the visitors center was full of good information and exhibits to learn about the park. Great for kids!
A great place for beginning hikers with a couple of really good trails that are more challenging. The Pimiteoui Trail is a wonderful trail. It can be steep on places but mostly crawls the ridges. There's a beautiful hillside prairie. The trail leads up to Grandview Drive. The Forest Park Nature Center building has activities for kids and examples of the flora and fauna as well as some live examples. There's also a store that helps support the trails.
