Review & FAQ:

Garth Nature Area is a 52-acre park that contains a 1.6-mile wetland trail and also connects to the much longer Bear Creek Trail. Many birds and other wildlife can be spotted along the trail. The park is very dog friendly and boasts a fenced, off-leash dog park and dog-friendly trails, while the dog park even has a dog wash station and the drinking fountains have pet bowls. For cyclists, the park offers the Bike Fix-It Station complete with air pumps and tools. Riders can stop by the convenient station and repair minor issues on their bicycles so they can quickly get back on the trail.
