Review & FAQ:

Fontenelle Forest Nature Center is divided into five distinctly different ecosystems, each with its own trails and attractions. The hub of the forest is the Fontenelle Forest Nature Center, where you can view rotating exhibits and get maps of your preferred section of the forest.

From here, you can take the wooden 1-mile Riverview Boardwalk as an introduction to the forest or begin an exploration of the other four ecosystems. Walk the flat, sandy trails of the northern floodplains, the tranquil sloping hills of the northern uplands, the steep hills and deep ravines of the southern uplands, or the marshes of the southern floodplains.
