Clear Springs Nature Preserve - Park in Montague - 3585 W Fruitvale Rd, USA

Really nice trail, I wish the trails were better marked with progressive maps showing you where your at instead of just spray paint. Trails are mostly dirt/sand with some roots and a couple steep hills, mild difficulty.

The parking lot is easily accessible with a port a potty to use. There's lots of trails and visibly marked. Very peaceful.

An old fish hatchery with trails around it. Fairly easy trails, a quaint bench between the two small ponds, and the old fish chutes are still visible from one of the trails.

Beautiful and tucked away. Really enjoyed it and will return but will bring bug spray as there's some biters! It was also super convenient that there was a portable toilet in the parking area.

This is a great little trail! Beautiful and scenic. There are multiple elevations and the path is a natural foot path that have some roots as obstacles. The trails would be difficult if you have limited mobility. It's very wooded until you come up to a small beach, big enough for one picnic table. I did not make use of the water access with a canoe etc. There are three parking areas and multiple branches of trails and one porta potty at the main parking area. Near that area are a number of picnic tables as well. I did not look to see if there were trash recepticals. I imagine this place will be beautiful in the fall. The name on the sign is actually CLEAR SPRINGS so don't think you're in the wrong spot. This is the right spot.

Who knew this gorgeous spring, pond, and trails were tucked between two busy roads - Fruitvale (main entrance) and Weesies - northeast of Montague? Whether one opts for a short hike, or explores several trails, the beauty enjoyed will match the energy expended. Topping it off: it's free!

On a warm Saturday morning we hiked in the Clear Creek Nature Preserve. The reserve consist of a number of well marked trails featuring a large pond, wildlife, including deer, and many gigantic old trees. Benches and informational signs have been placed along the trails. A small parking area with a few picnic tables are also available. Some wildflowers are also scattered along the way. It is a fun place to hike and explore.

Nice little hidden gem with several trails, wildlife, and earthen dams. Easy and well marked trails. Several places to sit and relax.
