    Good signs at important intersections so you know where you are. Round-trip from parking lot to farthest point is a little over a mile.

    Nice easy trails. Has options of smaller loops and is mostly easy to walk. Different junctions are all clearly marked with signs of the map. Is harder to walk right after or on a rainy day though, as the trails will be muddy. The tranquility and quiet/peace is nice here. Once saw a deer run by in here. Truly full of nature. There are many spider webs on the trail though, so beware! Use a stick to clear the path!

    Great trail for taking a hike. But it needs maintenance.

    As soon as you enter and go in about 20 feet you get a feel of the seclusion. It's like you stepped into another world. All I heard were birds chirping away and trees creaking in the wind. Though some of the paths were quite muddy it was still a blast to hike through. If I lived nearby I would definitely make this a routine hike. Very easy for young hikers too.

    Great trails! Clear and clean; people are good about picking up after pets. We keep walking it in the worst conditions (icy and muddy) and still have enjoyed it immensely. Don't be afraid to cross the creek, it's not so bad. Lol!

    One of my favorite places to go with my dog! Beware of ticks though!

    Nice little side park, I believe there 3 or 4 different trails that are available once you walk a little ways in the woods. Everything is maintained well.

    Had AMAZING work photos done here!

    This has become one of our favorite trails. I bring my 3 young kids here and the red loop can be completed in 20 minutes! Plenty to explore and see.

    The trails are really peaceful. There does seem to be a large amount of folks though so keep your distance! Other than that, it's really beautiful .

    It's a good place to stargaze in town.

  • 5/5 Charlie M. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful, easy trails. The ones on the map are well marked, and there are even some unmarked trails for the adventurous with great views.

    Great place right in town. Makes you feel secluded

    Nice little area. I’m a local photographer and Lawrence Nature Park is a perfect spot for photo shoots. Not usually very busy which is nice!!
