Woodland Park and Nature Preserve - Nature preserve in Battle Creek - 2518 Gethings Rd, USA

Really unique experience in the "city". Where you can roam on miles of trails amongst huge trees and lush plants but be feet from rushing cars and commercial buildings. Lots of birds, very good for the soul! And free! Just with there was more signage about the flora and history.

Had a great walk around here. The fall colors were stunning and saw some wildlife.

Great trail. Scenic even at this time of year.

This was a lovely little set of walking trails, though I wouldn't recommend going the day after the storm as the trails are (mostly) grown over with taller grass so your feet WILL get wet in the wrong shoes. The sounds of the birds were so enchanting and it's nice to peak at the little lake on the other side of the brush (taking the Prairie Trail). Definitely recommend if you want to feel like you're away from the hustle and bustle! Just be prepared with bug spray and does water resistant shoes!

Absolutely beautiful park and so serene. Got to witness a doe crossing my path twice on the Sumac/Beech trails! I also took the blue trail in the back (Hidden Loop) and the flooding was cleared as of late September. I absolutely love how clearly the trails are labeled here.

There are beautiful, scenic trails that are peaceful and serene. It does get a little muddy at times, so it may be beneficial to wear appropriate boots for your adventure.

Walked around here yesterday after working a half-day. Really pretty place! It's a lot bigger than I thought. There's a lot of wildlife back here, and one cool thing currently back in the woods is a large Beaver dam. Just be aware the dam is currently causing some flooding. Can't believe I've never been here until yesterday, and I work in Battle Creek. I'll definitely be back.

Gorgeous nature preserve with beautiful meandering paths. Didnt see much wildlife but signs of them are everywhere. Found some of the brightest naturally occuring colors we've ever seen.
