This place is AMAZING. Not only do they have an updated and clean info board, but they even supply certain seasonal things to enjoy your hike even more! (Butterfly nets, walking sticks, snowshoes, skis etc.) But be sure to bring them back to share with the next person. It's a place for all ages and all physical abilities -parts are even wheelchair accessible! There are a series of stories on the hiking trip, with all kinds of ideas for the kiddos. As well as a really awesome, large and unique playground area. The cranberry bog was great in the winter, but I wanted to try in the summer. Last time I went it seemed like they hadn't taken care of it to let people walk along it. I'm hoping this changes.

We spent a late morning here on a Sunday. Parking was no issue. The trails are clearly marked, maps are readily available throughout the park and it’s clean. We enjoyed the markers describing and explaining plants, rock walls and other land marks. Our daughter loved the hidden playground and the take/leave walking sticks. I highly recommend for all age groups. We will definitely visit again.

Had an amazing morning at the nature trail. The trails were well marked and there were identification cards for a lot of the flowers/plants. Perfect place to bring kids and explore for hours. The trails are all fairly easy and there are maps all over incase you get mixed up. You can really tell how much the owners love nature. I wish there were more places like this.

this place was absolutely PERFECT, me and my kitty absolutely loved it!!!! we are bog lovers, but we never get to be too close to the water and plants because its usually very mucky near the edge. so it was so awesome and fun for us on the little bog bridge with all the plant identifiers!!!!! we both had an amazing time walking around for hours early this morning watching the water lilies wake up. luckily, there were barely any mosquitos this morning compared to last night. but this place is absolutely adorable with interactive structures and things to mess with. and they had a bunch of bug nets, wooden baskets and other things for people to use while theyre here. you can really just see the thought put into everything, from the accessable parking and toilets to the book pages along the trail. whoever made this place, THANK YOU! you're healing my inner child :)🖤♥️

What a wonderful place to take the kids. Trails are easy, there's a book walk out on by the Walpole Library. A play area in the woods where you can build Fairy and Nome homes, play tic tac toe, seasaw, jungle gym. The bog is one of our favorite spots. We end up here for hours playing and exploring.

This is such a great place to bring kids, or even to just go for a lovely walk in the woods.
We did the pumpkin decorating and story walk with my two year old, and it was really fun. The forest playground is creative and fun.
There's also a boardwalk over the big area which was so beautiful and cool. Highly recommend

Absolutely beautiful place. The map for the trails was confusing and we got lost but it's impossible to get horribly lost on the trail. So ridiculously kid friendly, making this now my go to place for my kids to burn energy. It was nice for my kids to see salamanders because it's something we just don't see a lot anymore 😕 at home
