Horseshoe Farm Nature Preserve

So beautiful and peaceful. Loved how there are few trails to do that are level. Would love to come back in spring or fall

Lots of wide open space and overgrowth. There are benches throughout and a pavilion for a picnic near the parking lot. The forest trail was beautiful and we found some unique mushrooms. The bathrooms are outhouses with no running water which isn’t too great if you need to clean yourself up after walking. The mosquitoes are really bad whenever we have come here but I suppose I should expect that from a nature preserve.

Absolutely beautiful location. My only wish is that they make the lower meadow area paved so we can walk on it with our daughter's wheelchair. The Neuse River Greenway is wonderful but would love to be able to do a big loop here without having to turn around while still being able to take her chair.

This park is so beautiful and peaceful. There is soooo much wide open space making it an ideal park for picnics, frisbee, bike rides, cart wheels (trust me you’ll know what I mean when you get there).. there’s some neat history to the land and the BEST part is the woodsy trails that transport you into (or what feels like) a whole new world. So peaceful and if you come on a later afternoon/early evening for a nice walk, you will truly enjoy!! (:

I love this spot! Great place for photography and running around. Right off the trail, and there’s even a trail in the park that loops through the woods and pops out on opposite sides. Biked the kids here lots, had picnics, let them run around the field and house, saw snakes and other wildlife, and shot some of my favorite mini fig photos here. Plenty of space, bathrooms, and trail access. Careful of dog poop though, lots of people come here with their pets and assume it’s a free range dumping area.
