This is always a lovely walking trail. Especially in the early fall. The trail is well maintained and there are numerous places to have a very sweet semi-secluded picnic.

Really pretty. Havent been there before. My kids and I saw a bull moose and a cow moose. The fall colors are awesome. It was really fun except for the inconsiderate people that were smoking.

Cherry springs is a great trail to hike. Springtime it gets a little muddy, but hey, thats nature. When you get to the trailhead you have two options, either go left on the 1 mile long trail, or right on the 1/2 mile trail. You have multiple paths you can take for picnics, exploring, photo shoots, and more. 10/10 i would recommend.

Very nice area has a bathroom and benches throughout the walking trails. The area is really pretty and well kept. I strongly suggest that you take a trip up to cherry springs when you are in the area.

Nice nature trail with low ground water features smart to keep an eye on pets and kids due to snakes and local wildlife. Also smart to bring bug spray

Cherry Springs Nature Area is a perfect place to walk. Its beautiful, peaceful, stays fairly cool even on hot days, is not far away and is not usually full of other people. I like to walk in nature and use that time to think and reflect, so Im looking for quiet and solitude, which I typically find at Cherry Springs. Its also educational, with signs providing information about the local flora and fauna.

Not much to do or see here. It does have a nice paved pathway for walking. It is a bunch of trees and bushes, and not much else. It is quite a drive up there for just a short walk. It was ok, but not something I think I would do again.

This is an awesome little trail. It is kind of an oasis in the middle of the canyon. It can get a little overgrown--needs a little more maintenance. There arent nice bathrooms either. But I love this place. Great for kids.
