Walk softly, you'll see animals and birds
Woodland Dunes Nature Center的点评
点评:I've been going to this wonderful place for decades. It still has that "wild" feeling.
The headquarters building has been modernized and expanded. There is even an EV charging system.
But, you ask...what is there to do? My first instinct is to climb the tower. From there you can view the Butterfly Garden. And the raised wooden trail that takes you into a marshy area to a view of the West Twin River. If you tread softly, you can usually hear and, if you're lucky, see northern yellowthroats.
West of the building is the Goldenrod Trail. An easy, level trail that takes you to Todd's Pond. Continue in a northernly direction to a wooden platform. A great spot to open a bottle of wine and have a picnic. With another nice view of the river.
Don't forget the rest of the area. A brief drive west on 310 and a turn on Woodland Road takes you other trails... Trillium Trail among others.
You can spend most of a day here. If you meet anyone along the trails, they are likely kindred spirits.
翻译:几十年来,我一直都来这个美妙的地方。它依然保留着那种“野性”的感觉。
总部大楼经过了现代化的扩建,甚至还配备了电动汽车充电系统。
但是,你可能会问……那里能做什么呢?我的第一反应是爬上塔楼。从那里你可以看到蝴蝶园。沿着高架木道,你可以看到一片沼泽地,可以俯瞰西双河。如果你脚步轻柔,通常可以听到黄喉地莺的鸣叫,如果幸运的话,还能看到它。
大楼西边是金菊小径。这条平坦易走的小径通往托德池塘。继续向北走,就能到达一个木制平台。这里是开瓶葡萄酒、野餐的好地方。还能欣赏到河景。
别忘了这片区域的其他地方。沿着310号公路向西行驶一小段,拐进林地路,你还能看到其他小径……其中包括延龄草小径。
你可以在这里待上大半天。如果您在路上遇见任何人,他们很可能就是您的志趣相投者。
