The
Wildflower
Reserve
has
*the
best*
environmental
education
park
rangers!
The
programs
are
great,
I
only
wish
they
were
able
to
host
them
more
frequently,
(plus
host
multiples
of
the
same
classes
that
get
filled
up!)&
had
more
resources.
Right
now,
every
two
months
they
release
a
calendar
with
the
program
schedule.
They
update
Facebook
and
post
the
programs
as
events
on
there,
too.
It
depends
on
what's
going
on
seasonally/with
the
woods,
for
what
topics
come
up.
If
you
visit
for
a
hike***
and
the
center
happens
to
be
open,
poke
your
head
in
to
look
around
and
say
hi;
they're
nice
&
I
always
learn
something
new
when
I
stop
in!
They
have
honeybees
in
the
back,
a
native
plant
garden
off
to
the
side,
and
a
historic
cabin
up
on
a
hill.
I
grew
up
attending
programs
here
&
continue
to
go
whenever
I
can
get
the
time.
They
can
host
school
and
group
programs.
The
Reserve
area
rules
are
more
strict
than
the
State
Parks'
rules.
Do
not
bring
someone
who
won't
respect
nature.
Because
of
it's
smaller
size,
I
typically
send
folks
who
are
beginner
level
with
hiking
(but
are
fairly
fit)
to
the
wildflower
reserve
for
a
"leisurely
&
pretty
hike."
The
Wildflower
Reserve
Area
has
about
4.5
miles
of
trails
and
most
connect
to
each
other.
If
an
adult
gets
lost,
they
can
usually
find
their
way
back
without
*too
much*
trouble.
Lots
of
mud
in
some
areas,
especially
in
spring.
Definitely
some
hills.
If
you
take
a
hike
you
can
find-
a
good
meadow
for
bird
&
butterfly
watching,
a
seasonal
pool
full
of
frogs,
a
creek
perfect
for
turning
rocks
over
in,
ferns
that
make
you
feel
like
you're
in
Jurassic
park,
and
even
a
scenic
view
from
a
cliff.
***There
is
a
Wildflower
Reserve
trail
map
as
a
PDF
online,
if
you
want
to
hike,
I
suggest
following
the
Wildflower
Reserve
specific
trail
map,
instead
of
trying
to
use
the
official
Raccoon
Creek
State
Park
map.
They
don't
always
have
them
printed
and
available
on
site
(unlike
the
Raccoon
maps)
so
it
helps
to
print
one
up
in
advance!
