Chuck Crume Nature Park

Just a little trail behind some houses. Nice but nothing special.

This trail is tucked away behind a church (was confused when i drove into a church parking lot), and it is perfect for those who aren't necessarily ready for a full-blown hike. This is definitely walking friendly, and my two year old had no problem walking by himself. There was a secluded feeling, and we only saw two people walking their dogs. The canopy of trees kept the sun off of us, and it's easy to stay there for a long period of time. I chose to give this park four stars for two reasons. The first is that it's difficult to tune out the sound of cars nearby, and the mosquitos were overwhelming. But, as long as you bring something to keep them away, it can be a wonderful experience.

Really cool place, but desperately needs some management— everything is smothered in invasive vines and it’s hard to find native plants (photos are of the coolest ones I found). The front/main trails are definitely the best kept and are Prevette pretty. I know this is likely more a funding and Beaurocracy issue than anything but I’d love to see what would happen if a crew was hired to run a controlled burn through the park next spring. All in all a great place but has so much more potential!

Walking trail in the woods in the city. That's the best way I can describe it. Some paths are maintained with wood chips and some and just cut enough to make them a walking path. Everything is covered so that's a plus for sure. A few different entrances but parking behind the church is the easiest. Not for bikes or anything motorized as you physically can't get it in the gate entrance. Some nature out and about.. Cardinals and turtles was the extent of our trip. Paths can be tricky to navigate but a good trip overall.

Great place to take a quick break from your busy day and life. Awesome spot to take your dog or go on a quick walk or run. Beautiful scenery all around. Makes you feel like you're in the middle of a forest right in the middle of town.
