Definitely a good trail to go through at Sawyer Park if you're feeling adventurous. It's 1.25 miles…read morelong, in and out of the woods so there's a lot to see. I loved getting to pass through some small creeks and experience the quite of nature while being in the woods. To be honest, it got a little terrifying in some areas where there are super narrow trails and trees/tall bushes hovering over you. There were also some areas that got a bit confusing as to where we were supposed to go next. Thank god for the signs though that were placed in some areas. Great trail to take to get some calories burning, though!

This is a decent little trail tucked away in Tom Sawyer Park, just off Hurstbourne Parkway, across…read morefrom Hounz Ln., Park. I've hiked the trail twice now. It's in the middle of the city, yet it's a truly wooded nature trail: abundant roots, packed down dirt, flowing creek, tall trees and geese flying over fairly regularly. (it is, after all, called "Goose Creek Trail") The paths are well-maintained, but not marked incredibly well. It looks like a Boy Scout Eagle project was to create benches and do some trail maintenance to avoid erosion. The trail is also sprinkled with nicely carved signs... But not at all of the turns. Perhaps some of the off-beaten-paths were not intentionally created by the Park, and thus, they are unofficial and unmarked. It's easy to get turned around on this short trail, but if you don't mind an extra walk, you'll eventually come upon a crossroads that you recognize. At some points, the path could lead you to the nearby airfield, where you'll see signs to watch out for aircraft! (Toy/radio Aircraft). You could also end up at the nearby Community Center just on the outskirts of Tom Sawyer. Or you could end up near the 1 mile fitness path on the main side of the Park near the tennis courts and playgrounds. Or.. if you're a part of the lucky few who truly do decide to venture off-the-beaten-path, you could end up crossing over into the property that is Central State Mental Hospital. If this happens, don't be alarmed, there is a small yellow sign letting you know that you are on the edge of the park property. There is, however, no sign letting you know that you're at Central State. How did I know? Well, handy Google maps showed me as a blue dot on in their territory. Takeaways: 1) This is a great park if you're looking for serene, relaxing nature and actual trails made of dirt. 2) Not a trail for hiking/walking while you play on your phone -- it is all too easy to trip over a root. 3) Pay attention to the trees, the signs, the intersections, etc. as you walk. You will need to know what is what if you plan to make it back to your car. 4) It feels safe here -- even if you are turned around in the woods with the slowly setting sun. Pro tip - if you hike near dusk-- don't be a dummy -- take a flashlight.

I feel so lucky that I visited Yew Dell Botanical Gardens on the last Friday of September. I…read morearrived around 4 p.m. without knowing that every last Friday of the month from 4-7 p.m. is their Happy Hour with free admission. It usually is $12 per adult. My wife and I could walk the trails and enjoy the beautifully landscaped flowers and trees at no cost. The atmosphere was fantastic, peaceful, refreshing, and uplifting. There was also live music outdoors, where people could enjoy food, wine, and beer in a lovely setting. This place is truly charming and relaxing. Now I know I've found a hidden jam. I'll look forward to visiting here on the Last friday of each month (April through October).

It's the…read moreperfect spot for a quiet walk, a meaningful chat with a friend, or an afternoon of letting the kids explore and discover the wonders of nature. Every visit feels fresh and different--sometimes we come to stroll the gardens slowly and soak in the seasonal blooms, other times just to let the kids run and enjoy the open spaces. The grounds are gorgeous and so thoughtfully designed, with little nooks and trails that invite you to pause, notice, and breathe. There's a sense of calm and restoration here that's hard to find anywhere else. My entire family loves coming, and it's become one of our go-to places whenever we want to recharge or spend time together outdoors. Whether you're a gardener, a parent, or someone who just loves natural beauty, I can't recommend Yew Dell Gardens enough. It's a gem for the whole community.
