Nature View Park

The Nature View Park Trail Loop begins at the primary trailhead off Sweet Home Road and forms a gentle circuit through a mix of hardwood and evergreen forest. Hikers can travel in either direction from the trailhead, following a well-defined path that gradually climbs and descends through the wooded terrain. There are a few intersections along the route, but all are clearly marked, making navigation straightforward for most hikers. Modest elevation changes and wide, well-trodden tread make this a good route for novice to intermediate users. Birdwatching opportunities are frequent, and the peaceful, shaded atmosphere makes it ideal for quiet walks year-round. Occasional clearings provide glimpses of the surrounding hills, especially in late fall or early spring when foliage is sparse. The trail is open to hiking and leashed dogs throughout the year, with cross-country skiing possible in winter. Be prepared for muddy or icy conditions following storms or snowmelt, and plan ahead—there are no reliable water sources along the way.
