General Info

This unique non-profit nature center, located in southwestern Michigan’s Berrien County, has eight miles of trails meandering through its 1000 acres. Our trail system includes boardwalks, observation platforms, and an easily accessible barrier-free walkway. Trails running along the Paw Paw River bluffs provide great views of the river valley below. Boardwalks and observation platforms in the flood plain give you an up-close look at wetland wildlife and habitats including wet forests, cattail marshes, shrub carrs, and even a unique alkaline wetland called a fen. The best part is that you can see it all without even getting your feet wet! Dogs and other pets are not allowed on the hiking trails.This unique non-profit nature center, located in southwestern Michigan’s Berrien County, has eight miles of trails meandering through its 1000 acres.
