Finding the hiking trails was confusing but the boat tour was so amazing!

We enjoyed it immensely. There were a number of families with small kids like ourselves, and the trails proved to be easy enough for everyone to navigate. Well maintained (clean) and the trails heads are clearly marked with additional markers along each one. Will be visiting again

Fun Wetland. I didn't even know we had a wetland area so this was a pretty cool find. The glass boat and scuba diving businesses were not open right now (pandemic) but we did walk the wetland trail which is a lovely metal bridge that meanders over the wetlands so you can enjoy them and watch the wildlife. The trail signage is also wonderfully educational and it was fun to look for the animals they said lived Cons. -It's super small and so there's not really much to do. Maybe there's more and I just need to spend more time exploring. -It appears that normally you must pay for parking which seems unreasonable given its size - There isn't much signage so you kinda just have to stumble about until you find what you're looking for.

It was a nice 6 mile hike! Some very beautiful areas, with a few short hills, flat areas and lots of rocks!

There are some free parking areas but some of the spaces at the Meadows center require a permit or you have to pay depending on day/time

What all can you do there? Is it just hiking?
