Review:
Sandy Creek Nature Center is a 225-acre plot of woodland and wetlands with hiking trails, wheelchair-accessible trails, a planetarium, and an excellent visitors center. The four miles of trails bring visitors into contact with a great variety of flora and fauna, including frogs, snakes, turtles, and armadillos.
An 1815 log house near the visitors center is open monthly for those wishing to look indoors. The visitors center is filled with exhibits of live animals such as reptiles, amphibians, and water creatures, in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. The nature center offers many educational programs, including fishing, night-time searches for amphibians, and guided trail walks.
