Just across from the historic Dinsmore Homestead, this nature park doesn’t have playgrounds or lighted picnic shelters or basketball courts – just unblemished, idyllic countryside. The park is comprised of 230 acres and contains several miles of hiking and horseback riding trails. The shallow, winding Middle Creek snakes through the verdant park and doesn’t get more than a couple feet deep at its maximum depth. The hiking trails are geared toward moderately experienced hikers, because sections of the trails are steep and potentially slippery. Because of mosquitoes and other critters, it’s best to wear long pants when navigating the wooded trails to avoid getting eating alive. Seriously, the bugs can get pretty nasty, but the scenery is worth a few bug bites.
