Beautiful area to enjoy nature and be active. Whitfield also provides field trips to school kids throughout the county, and is a wealth of knowledge about our local wildlife and natural history.

Clean and beautiful trail. Partly shaded just dont forget the BUG SPRAY. I was able to pull along a wagon with my daughter in it, a real easy trail.

Converted dairy farm into wild lands to protect local birds and wildlife. Collection of trails leads to a lake. Brief hours staffed information center. The area is more lush than pics show worth the hike.

A small but interesting place to see wildlife. This was once a dairy years ago but now is a refuge for all kinds of wild plants and animals of the bosque habitat. From butterflies to sandhill cranes, and prairie dogs to coyotes, this 90-acre parcel of land is astonishing for its amount of diverse life. Programs greatly enhance the education of our local youth about nature.
