    I went with my wife and 6 year old. The hiking trails are well marked with benches spread throughout. There are trail maps available at the main building to help guide people. My only complaint is there are no trash bins on the trails. There was a decent amount of litter along the paths that I walked, and while I don't mind picking up some other person's trash, there wasn't anywhere to put it. Make sure you take a backpack or bag.

    Beautiful native plants almost everywhere you look!! I use Plantnet to identify, but there are lots of free phone apps. I also found a geocache on the way out. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

    Well maintained trails with lots of views of the water. A nice spot for a walk through the woods.

    We were so pleasantly surprised when we started walking down the path and came across a nature playground. Had to be the cutest thing we ever saw. Instead of having a sandbox, it had small stone in it! The box was quite large! Musical chimes to play. A canoe to play in and pretend going somewhere! We plan on going back to have lunch with our great grand son on a nice day. We highly recommend a visit and see for yourself how nice it is!

    We live in nearby Belcamp. This place is one of the best kept secrets in the area. The trails are well kept and fun to walk with nice views of the water at times. The Center has a nice display of animals found in the area. My kids love this place almost more than I do.

    I love this place! The critter dinner times are so cool. And they have a lovely nature "playground" with chairs and musical instruments made from wood. Lovely views of the creek and programs for all ages! And walking trails.

    Wonderful place to spend an afternoon! Helpful Staff and the area on the Discovery Trail is very cool! Loved all the places to explore.

    Great place to hike and get some views over the water. Hiking is somewhat short with limited area. A few loops can easily be repeated. Fantastic place for dogs. The Estuary center does some cool projects out of the main building too.

    Great park to go for hike, or a paddle. Also hosts lots of great family oriented events here, that the kids love.
