Lovely hike. A must if you are in the Centralia area. Be aware that most hikers arent wearing masks and it isnt possible to maintain 6 feet distance while passing each other on a path.

Really great little trail absolutely beautiful care has been taking this place have the chance of winning the caretaker by the way who was just an exceptional man but the trailer itself is just wonderful beautiful scenery and just amazing experience no homeless whatsoever no garbage clean trails well-maintained and trimmed just absolute all around amazing place that I had absolutely no clue was in my own backyard you have to try

I love hiking here. The trails are very well cared for. Theres a free map at the beginning of the trail near the parking lot which is VERY helpful when navigating through all the different trails.

Nice place. Well maintained trails. We really appreciate how nice this place is.

Talk about a hidden gem right in your backyard! Lived in the area for almost 4 years and never even knew this place was here! My husband and I had the best time exploring! Cant wait to bring the kids and show them!

Its beautiful! Kept nice and clean. Dirt walking path is kept nice and has steps at most inclines.

Very peaceful and fun to walk around. I really appreciate that they provide you with a map.

Peaceful, quiet, and right next to downtown Centralia. Short hike, approximately 2 miles, through a network of narrow but maintained trails takes you to beautiful views of the city, elevation from 500 feet.

Beautiful woods and well maintained trails. Nice easy, relaxing hike.

Hiking here is the phenomenal lots of places to explore and delve into on this one.

Very steep!great to wear dogs out!

Such a lovely park to hike and sit and be in nature. Lots of choice for routes and length of time to be out. And such great benches! I ran into a man who was, by volunteering, making another bench for the route nearest the top. He found the wood lower down on the trail and was hauling it up to put together as a completed bench for all to use. It was nice to hear how much the park means to people ♡

Visited on a Saturday and the park sign says open from 8am - dusk, contrary to the hours on Google. Pretty cool place for hiking, decently steep trails make for a good challenge. Would rate it 5 stars except for the weird experience with the tweaker laying in the trail.

Watch out for spiders I got bit by a big one.

Amazing place! Lovely hikes

Great place to take a nice short hike. Close to town and very clean.

Very peaceful well kept up. Good hillsStabler Point is a nice overview

Beautiful place to relax and a wonderful place to get away and enjoy the wilderness and only a few minutes away. Nice walkway, the steeper parts have steps switch make it more accessible and easier to climb. Still have lots to explore!

Great, easyish hiking!

A little muddy in places. But I love the stairs. Great place. Clean trails.

For family walks it is beautiful I recommend this place.

Its a beautiful place we all have for local adventure.

Awesome trails and beautiful photo ops

Great trails for hiking with kids!

Im enjoying myself here with family a brother from our bloodshed during his crucifixion, for we shall bless this day all greatness and heartness, for I love all equally and shamefully. I love my children, for Im ready to be proclaimed to the slaughter of our hearts in the waters of where it all started...

Was a nice nature walk. Enjoyed seeing the different species of mushrooms.

The preserve is a nice quite place to clear your head and the trail is a real challenge (at least for me)

No bicycles allowed This place shows up under search for bicycle trails. it should not. No bikes are allowed.

A nice trail close to downtown centralia. Offering hiking and nature. all just a short drive from the best restaurants and espresso shops in town. I frequent this trail after grabbing a coffee at Santa Lucia down the road.

Nice park, my dog had a blast

Plenty of different paths to explore! Very fun

A great place for casual day hikes. Nice views of the town from the top.

Avoiding a certain portion of the hill, it is a beautiful walk and awesome forest. The forsest mushrooms are gorgeous

Very aggressive hiking trails but easy an lots of them its a beautiful mostly up hill hike an many trails to explore

It would be amazing if there wasnt two homeless people camping out in the parking lot. Pretty creepy.

A great short hike with plenty to see including a water tower towards the top with an amazing sight of the city. Perfect place for anything from a long jog to a picnic at the table and shed at the entrance. Would recommend to anyone wanting to get active out in nature.

Nice trails but the paths are not well marked.if you want to know where you are I would take a picture with your phone out of the map at the beginning of the trail.

Fun walk. Study the map if your a destination kind of person or just roam free..it all comes back to the free parking lot. Nice hike just a few blocks from town

Great place for a walk through the P.N.W. Occasionally hosts events as well.

Very fun hike. A lot of up hill hiking so be prepared to get out of breath and in shape

Fun hiking spot lots of big foot

Great local hike, right in the middle of town. Feels like youre deep in the woods. Pretty steep incline, but lots of little trails to wander.

Beautiful place for a walk.

Not maintained. Good place to get muddy but horrible place to walk a dog in the wet season January - December. If you can make it on a dry day it is a good dog walk but no play areas. Not a great walk for little kids, a lot of steep and slippery climbing required. Definitely do not bring a disabled person unless youre up to carrying them over Hill and Dale.

Full disclosure. I grew up under the shadow of Seminary Hill and spent much of my youth and young adulthood hiking its trails, rambling its glades. The Friends of Seminary Hill have kept this Natural Area as the world has changed around. Its easy to imagine you are miles from town even though you are not far. Peaceful, natural, renewing. A place to breathe. A sacred space.

Love this little hike right in the middle of centralia!

Trails were I great condition andy dog loved it

Beautiful landing, and they have monthly events! Like for June they are having a photography event.

Has a nice hiking trail

Used to be no leash park bit not anymore, bunmer

Great park to explore and escape the city. Definitely walk these trails all the time

Really peaceful and nice. not too popular eirther so not crowed

Its OK if you are looking for a road trip break from Portland to Seattle

Nice spot for a quick hike. Lots of hill and different trails. The map at the entrance seems out of date though.

The people are nice and its a nice walk to go on.

I absolutely love hiking here. Its a Zen little hill/mtn top oasis

Loved the quiet serenity as we hiked the trails here. Found some amazing maiden hair ferns to admire. Looking forward to visiting here again.

2014.08.09: Great stop along the way. This place was deserted, and felt prehistoric, with giant ferns and moss-covered trees. There were several little trails snaking through the woods along the sometimes steep hillsides. The google directions to the place were wrong, though. You can also hear the trains roll by pretty often, with a very loud whistle!

Great local spot for short hikes. Kids loved it and they had fun looking for snakes, snails, slugs, and frogs.

Beautiful and serene. I like the primitive trails and varied terrain-- lots of hills. I am concerned about the number of homeless that encamp here. Their debris is littered throughout the woods. The trails are slick and boggy in the winter, spring, and early summer.

Gorgeous land very relaxing and quiet

Beautiful nature walk

The hike is short, but man is it a fabulous little exercise! Every day i get home from work I unwind with a relaxing stroll through Seminary Hill. Very clean and beautiful! I love it!!!

It is a great little bit of nature close to town . There are a couple miles of trails. Very dense Forrest.

Love this place. Great place to take dogs for a walk and play with the kids.

So pretty up there

Did not know this was here. Tons of trails, very maintained

Nice trail tho walk. Challenging and fun

Very nice. Well maintained. Steep but short.

This place is rad. Presently working on a little bit of the muddy walk ways so theres easier access for others to enjoy this place.

Been going here since I was a little girl:)

Well taken care of trails. Good for day or evening hikes.

Great outdoors trail that loops around throughout the Hill side. NON smoking trails!

There was a couple picnic tables in the parking lot,one was under cover one was out in the weather,also there is an outhouse/portapotty.....It was pretty

Love this place. Many trails to venture out on.

The trails are basic and can be difficult especially when its been raining. They are not well marked, and not maintained. Some areas are steep for a less experienced hiker.

Peaceful, good place to bring kids for a nature walk. Parking area is small and primitive,

So beautiful! Come and take a nice walk with nature ALL around you!

The trail is beautiful, rather muddy though. There is a lot of garbage left from what appeared to be a homeless camp, which is so sad!

Good trails for a short hike.

Its awesome and quiet

Not all trails are marked, and steep hills sides

Nice trail

They have seriously improved this park!!

Great place

Love this park

A great place to go on a sunny day! Can get muddy quite muddy with a few days rain.

I would rate it higher if it stayed open till at least 8..It closes so early.

Lots of trails for hiking
