Jewell Wetlands Park

This is a quick walk (20 minutes give or take). This is a dog friendly park (please pick up after your pets), there is a portapott. Parking is limited.

Very nice park with walking trails, a small pond, wildlife and a butterfly garden. This will be even better in a month or so when there are leaves, but now you could see the big nests in the trees. Saw geese feeding, several birds including a woodpecker and some rabbits on this visit. There are some benches along the way and a lookout where you can sit and watch.

Beautiful local wetlands! I highly recommend this place for families with elementary age kids. Bring your binoculars to checkout the birds. I was told that there were sightings of eagles. I couldn’t tell what birds I encountered in the picture below.

A real gem of a park. A nice place to spend an afternoon enjoying nature or walking your dog. The small pond contains turtles and various waterfowl, and has a few benches to relax on. A good place to do some birdwatching as well.

I love this park because it's got an easy walk to a really cool picnic area! The walk to the spot takes you past a pond and over a long boardwalk! It's perfect for toddlers who really don't want to walk that far. You could probably even get away with pushing the stroller out there!
