Is a gorgeous place in the middle of the city. I really recommend to go if you love photography and also to ha e a nice relaxing time, very beautiful.

Always crowded with photographers and even insensitive folks with tripods on their narrow boardwalk. Dogs not allowed on the boardwalk. Everytime we have been to Huntley, we have seen something. Like a couple spoonbills last year. Eagles, kingfishers, frogs, herons. My husband is a photographer but doesn't take his tripod. He loves going there.

This place is very relaxing. It’s good to walk over the walk path watching birds and natural habitats

Only on the gravel paths, not on the boardwalk

Does each trail lead to the boardwalk? I noticed there was Heron Trail and Cedar Trail. I picked Cedar, but didn't see a boardwalk. I also didn't walk far enough because I got discouraged thinking I took the wrong path. Please advise. Thanks!

We saw the deer trail and a heron trail. The Heron Trail is the trail with the Boardwalk. But the other trails loop around to connect. We walked from the visitor center to the Heron trail and then took the Deer Trail. I noticed that there are at least two entrance points to the park. I can't comment if you parked at another entrance.

The trail is open whenever the park is open. I'm not sure of the normal hours of operation but you can call to get that information. I hope you enjoy the park. There is plenty to see there. Be sure to take your camera and, if you have it, carry binoculars to see the abundance of wildlife that call the park home. Walk in Peace. Gerry "Spirit Bear" Gardner

I'm not sure about the visitor center but the park itself closes when it gets dark. If you call the visitor center I'm sure you can get a quick and accurate answer.

The visitors center has exihbits about the ecosystem of the park that children love. The trail walk is good exercise as well. It features a board walk through the marsh and an observation deck. For a traditional playground there is a school on the same street and Lee District is close by.
