Straub Nature Park

Beautiful little loop trail with gorgeous scenery. It felt like my 4 year old and I had been teleported into one of the wilderness trails up in the Cascades. Many little side trails that looked intriguing, but - and here's the only drawback - this park is utterly RIDDLED with poison oak. If you bring kids, point the stuff out, and take it slow. It doesn't affect pets - but the oil will cling to their fur and affect anyone who touches them until washed (not rinsed) away. Enjoy this park with due caution!

Entrance is off of Doaks Ferry Road. Google Maps takes you to the high school. The trail thru the woods was nice and wide and had a lot of wood chips, so no mud. If you enter on the right, it will wind you around. My dogs and I turned around and walked back up once we were at the end and got our exercise because the trail was more uphill going back the way we came. It is not a long walk, however, so if you are wanting a long trail, this is not where you should go. But, all in all, very nice! There will be lots of wild strawberries soon! And there are rabbits there, so dog owners beware of yours are hunters like mine! Very pretty walk thru the woods. Serene and peaceful with lots of birds chirping about, even though you can hear the traffic nearby. And we were the only ones there at 4pm during the week, so that made for an even better experience.

Great park to walk around. I had a great time walking around with my son. We got to see lots of cool mushrooms growing. Awesome place to walk your dog without to many distractions.

Small, quiet main path that is an easy walk there are some side paths you can meander as well that are slightly more difficult to navigate.

My favorite little park! It’s not big, but there are lots of little nooks and crannies throughout that you can explore. It’s usually pretty quiet and I’ve only ever seen one other group of people there are the same time as us. I love coming here! There a nice little walking path.
