Peghorn Nature Park

We have been going to Trail of Terror for 3 years now. This year beat the rest. So organized. A DJ playing awesome music had lots of people dancing. Trail was scary. My kids had so much fun.

My sister and I really enjoyed this park. There are some upgrades expected soon. There is a Rainbow Bridge that is just amazing! There are so many plants that the pollinators are attracted to.

This trail is especially nice in the spring. Lots of flowering plants. There is some really neat old buildings to go in and take a look, butterfly garden, chicken coop, nice trail and boardwalk.

Looking for a place to walk we found this park on Google Maps. We like walking two or more miles. This park has about 1.5 miles of trails and paths. A bridge is closed, benches are in disrepair and other parts of the park are in need of funding. The park is open Monday to Saturday 8AM to 6PM (closed Sunday). It’s a hard park to review as it wasn’t what we were looking for. School groups here on education trips. I can’t say anything about that part of the Nature Park. For us it was a 3 Star Park. We got to walk and the trail was nice. The education aspect is the main purpose of the park so I thought it deserves a 4 Star rating. I’m happy we stopped here but not a park we will be back to. While the small parking area in front is only for workers and handicap parking there is a large parking lot next door for Wheel Park.

Nice small Nature Center in St. Cloud. Many things to offer like a Community Garden, Old School house with furniture of the times. An old canning Factory, hiking trails, three Boardwalks and an old Pier over water of a retention pond. Many benches along the trails to sit relax and maybe see animal life like Raccoons, Rabbits, or maybe a Turtle or two. Community Building has Bathrooms, water fountain and Conservation Staff to talk to about Nature. Many donated antiques stored inside main room. Hiking trails are a bit ruff as far as could be muddy and you may have to walk on planks or tree trunks laid down to make them more passable after rain. Trails are well kept by Staff. Bring your own drinking water bottle or a re=fillable bottle to fill at the water fountain in Community Center. I enjoyed my hike around the Orange Trail. Keep enjoying the outdoors. No fee to get in, and free Parking for a few cars.
