Waterloo-Discovery Center Trail

A beautiful and well maintained trail area, perfect for a hike of any length

This is a great place to just take a break from it all. There are lots of hiking paths and places to just sit and chill. No matter what season you visit, you are bound to find something new that takes your breath away. There are seven different trails ranging from 0.8 miles (1.3 km) up to 5.3 miles (8.5 km) with views of Mill Lake, Spring Lake, and Crooked Lake.

Excellent place to learn about native animals and plants. Interactive exhibits inside and out. Plenty of trails carrying in difficulty. Everyone can find something fun here

Great place if you like photos of the rarer Wildflower species. Dragon's Mouth Orchid, Yellow and Pink Lady Slippers, Bog Bean, etc.

This a great educational place, that includes some of the history of the area. I have hiked all the trails around the center, and what a great experience. There are a lot of wild life, wild flowers, trees, and just natural beauty of the place.
