    I Want to come here again. The place seemed isolated and the gates where closed. There was a small opening that I guess I could've walked through but it just seemed creepy and not inviting.

    One of many trees like it here ~ just gorgeous! Thought provoking and beautiful.

    Peghorn Nature Park - Some photos from Halloween 2022

    Peghorn Nature Park is a hidden gem for anyone seeking a peaceful escape. Its serene atmosphere…read moremakes it one of the best parks for relaxation, reading, or simply enjoying some quiet time. The park is usually very quiet, allowing visitors to unwind without distractions. It's also a great spot for families; the open spaces are perfect for kids to play and explore. Whether you're looking to enjoy a good book or have a fun day with the children, Wheel Park offers a delightful environment that caters to both.

    It's been a long time since I updated this review. Didn't go often last year because it was…read moreliterally under water. Couldn't walk the trail if you tried, though you might have been able to swim it. It's about 40 minutes from my house and the trail is less then a mile anyone. They have an old schoolhouse, a cannery, and a blacksmith building on the premises, so that's pretty cool to see. Once in a while they host pioneer type days, which are fun, but yesterday's was really tiny. Only a couple venders. The blacksmith was there, someone talking about composting, and Shellie's Jellies (best jelly ever! Award winning, great flavors, my fav is the pineapple rum, but all of her jellies are bursting with flavor, except maybe the beauty berry, that one is a bit reserved) The best time of the year to go is Halloween (I'll have to go back and find my pics from last Halloween, insane). Entry is free during the day. Open Mon-Saturday. They have a fright night type of thing Halloween nights, they charge for that If you live close go to see the park often, quiet and relaxing. If you live a little further like me, at least go for Halloween! Oh, yes, the nature trail is now dry, they've cleaned it up, got rid of those horrible pallets, and cut back some of the vegetation so even my 80 year old mom felt comfortable walking through

    i went for a walk on this trail…read more don't forget to clean your shoes off with the brushes that are provided to keep bugs and seeds that maybe in your shoes to keep things out of the nature trail. it was nice and quiet the only thing i could hear was my foosteps crunching on the trail if you stop and stand still sometimes there is complete silence, when was the last time you had complete silence? i heard alot of birds off in the distance. i did see two duck at the beginning of the small lake they flew away when a big fish jump out of the water and scared them. i saw only two people on the trail. i was expecting no one to be walking the trails since it was so early in the morning. it's a nice drive to get to the welcome center and the trails. they have restrooms available, but they do not have air conditioning. they were nice and clean. don't forget some water bottles or a water jug. and stay hydrated.

    We love the outdoors, we appreciate nature and learning about wildlife. It was a very hot day and I…read morehad a foot injury the day before and still walked the trail. The level of difficulty was just fine for us and the kids, even with my limping. We loved the informative Boy Scouts markers showing the animals that were in the wilderness. Sadly but lucky for us. The sign mentioned bobcats, otters, deer, wild hogs, coyotes, rabbits, opossum, skunk, raccoons, and armadillo. Also there was a bridge made by a Boy Scout as his eagle project. It was done so well. We didn't actually see the animals but we did see very tall birds and the prettiest color of dragon flys. We saw, red, orange, and a tiger patterned wig one. We also saw plenty locusts grasshoppers, and anole lizards. Unfortunately the information center was closed due to covid but the lady working did come out and talk to us. She was supper friendly. Sadly our trip was cut short because of the rain. However if you like the outdoors and love free activities, put this place on your list.
