Richard T. Anderson Conservation Area

Great place to hike or bike. Easy to moderate trails for everybody. Close to the cities. Recommended!

At first I thought that it was going to be kind of boring, but we started exploring and there are so many beautiful sites once you get deeper into the woods. There are points where there is some elevation gain, which was really nice.

I've lived in EP for 32 years and never went here until recently. Such a hidden gem. Good workout walking up the hills and awesome views of the river valley from up top. Trails are not super long, but there's a few of them and they're quite scenic.

Great park with hilly trails leading to some great views and stunning native flower finds. I only had time to hike one trail, and it had a few spur trails that are smaller and wind through the woods but things are pretty open in the spring allowing you to have a good idea of where you are. Parking area isn't huge and 1 potra potty at the parking lot. Great picnic spot.

This is a really great park with nice steep trails that make for a good workout. There is some noise from the highway but once you get in the woods it isn't too bad. The best time to go is early spring and late fall when there's less bugs. Really convenient location of 212 for the Southwest suburbs. I can't believe I grew up in Eden Prairie and never had been there! Its really nice, my kids love it.
