Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve

"We LOVE Ritchey Woods! Walking the entire park (all trails) with a determined pup takes about 30-45 minutes, but it's easy to spend hours diving into nature! Besides the amazing plant life, we have seen deer in this park (a baby that we have happily seen get bigger!). Make sure if you bring your pup that they are up to date on flea and tick meds and you wear proper gear to protect yourself! Bathrooms are usually kept in order as are the trash cans. There are multiple spots to sit and rest if necessary, a great covered area for picnics, and multiple spots for great pictures with your family or "

"Very nice, walkable trails. Not too long. Walked the longest trail in about half an hour, sort of took my time. There's a little pioneer cemetery at the top of a hill, accessible by a trail and it's so surreal. But like, in a good way. Very nice and clean bathrooms and plenty of picnic tables, but only near the entrance of the trails. Plenty of gravel parking."

"Peaceful and pristinely maintained park. You can probably do all the trails in 30 or 40 minutes. Every time I've gone at dusk there are bunnies galore. 🐰 there's a free lending library, bathroom, lots of parking, areas for eating, benches for resting and maybe places for camping. Everything was well marked. Felt safe and the beauty of the forest trails was restorative. I could've easily used a jogging stroller and felt that I could've taken a wheelchair on most of these trails (my child uses a wheelchair so ♿️ accessibility is important to our family)."
