The Shiloh Conservation Area is an unexpected bonus in an area in which there is a much recent development.
It's a chance to get outside and enjoy nature without traveling far. As you walk along the path, there are signs describing what the conservation area does and the flora and fauna you might see. It's an easy walk, the paths are paved, the signs easy to read, and despite being close to a main road, it's quiet.
While there are walking access points at the nearby apartments and businesses, there's also entrance off Shiloh near the Knife River business.
It seems to be popular for families with kids and dogs or both, and people who like to fish. I've seen plenty of all of them.
There's no seating or picnic tables, or the like, so it's a place to keep you moving (except maybe if you're fishing). You never know what you'll see around the next curve in the path, and that's not a bad thing. read more
