Management of the nature area is also assisted by the Ivy Creek Foundation, a volunteer organization that helps in caring for the area and operating its nature programs. The Ivy Creek Natural Area offers more than seven miles of nature trails for walking. Horseback riding, bicycles, trail running, and pets are not permitted. Other amenities include historic barn tours, educational classes, and restroom facilities. The Central Red Trail takes visitors from the parking lot to the barn.
