The Bossard Nature Trail is designated as a National Recreation Trail in the National Trails System. Nature enthusiasts have the opportunity to make exciting new discoveries on their own or to walk the self-guided nature trail and perhaps stop to observe nature from one of two observation blinds located along the trail. Approximately 1,000 feet of the trail's pathway is paved and is easily accessible.

Great for families

This is an easy walk down into the creek canyon. The area is beautiful and the creek is great for kids (and adults!) to wade and have great fun.
