Many trails. We picked a route that included some switchbacks and decent elevation change. Paths were clear, and easy to follow, although having a map helps, given the number of paths. We walked around the Nolde Mansion. It looks like there are a fair number of activity stations and things to do for young people when rangers give tours.

Well maintained trails, not too strenuous. The gravel on the paths made them hikable even in wet weather because it prevented mud. And dogs are allowed!

Good spot for our impromptu picnic and walk with our dog. Great that we saw it as we were passing by. The trails are mini loops, some you feel in your legs as you walk uphill, but not long at all and you always hear the traffic from the road.The stream is peaceful, but parents would need to get creative in order for kids to enjoy the low impact park. Maybe learn about sawmill first before you go. Does have indoor flush toilets and sinks with running water.

Nice, well marked hiking trails. Dog friendly. Beautiful scenery. Museum closed due to Covid. Nice place to spent part or all of a day.

Even in the winter, when the colors are full and dreary, this place is absolutely beautiful. The trails around the education center are well maintained and well marked. The education center itself is informative and interesting.

Great hiking trails on forested land. Fun outdoor place to take your dog for a walk. Leash required.

Just a heads up. While walking on the watershed trail a little past the stone spring house & the cinderblock structures going toward the barn area I stopped & told my husband 2 listen. It was very obvious there was a rattle snake behind me. I am thankful that I did not turn around & look or step back. My husband who was on my left extended his hand & I walked calmly over 2 him. Frankly I was surprised. Just b aware of where u r walking. This was a very narrow part of the path that didnt seemed 2 b walked on alot. I havent seen any copperheads yet. Unfortunately, they dont give warning. So it appears they arent in hibernation yet.

Fall season beckons at this gorgeous and hiker-friendly park. Its not too big but man its beautiful.

Very pretty. We walked to the mansion, but it wasnt open, so we will be heading back soon!

Fantastic Trails in a lovely slice of earth. So close to reading, but makes you feel like you are somewhere remote.

Very nice scenery & walking trails. Tight parking. Picnic tables.

Fantastic preserve with many trails to hike. Will be going back.

Love going here with my family. There are nice little trails that are kid friendly. My kid loves the benches for breaks.

Beautiful forest with lots of amazing trails! I will definitely be going back!

Great hike, not terribly difficult. Decent inclines, beautiful scenery.

Beautiful. Quiet. Well traveled and marked. Walk alongside the water for a little slice of serenity.

Great walk with the grand children. Saw 4 turtles at Painted Pond.

Multiple trails to choose from and many are nicely shaded which is nice for hiking on hot sunny days. There is a DQ in nearby Kenhorst which is nice for some dessert before or after!

What a bea6park w plenty of walking trails for all experience. Paths follow watershed trail and some lead to a pond w a nice deck to relax upon. Perfect day

I didnt get to spend a lot of time here but what I seen looked pretty cool. Ill definitely be going back.

Great place for a walk. My family and I love going there to hike all year long. Lots of great views and wildlife to see with trails that are easy to follow. They also provide maps so no need to worry getting lost.

Ive been coming here for years and love this place!

My father & I stumbled across this place by accident...It was such a beautiful place that I decided to get married there in 2011... Ive been taking the dogs for walks there ever since.

Got lucky and visited when they were open and having a day of the dead exhibit. It was so well done, insightful its beautiful there, trails and scenery wonderful for the kids

Trail is clean and circled. Road label is clear.

Some tra8ls challenging but canopy overhead and beautiful view great hike

Nice place for a short hike and picnic lunch. Clean restrooms.

Parking was nearly nonexistent with their largest lot at the mansion being closed.

Beautiful park with lots of little easy trails along a small stream

Beautiful place for hiking! The kids loved exploring around the mansion.

Its great being out in nature

This is my place of peace. The pines are giant, restorative and help me breathe in the middle of a moment of panic, fear, or discovery. I married my true love here; in the woods, calm and breezy, cool and kind. Best choice Ive ever made. This forest feels like home to my mind, heart and spirit.

Best hike in south central pa!

Nice. Relaxing. Been a long time since I was on a hike but it felt good.

Enjoyed my first visit here. Didnt get to see everything. But from what I can tell this place is incredibly beautiful. Well maintained. And super educational. Ill go solo on my next trip to get a better sense of the surroundings.

Great place to go for a quiet peaceful walk through nature.

Beautiful trails and scenery.

Lovely forest, lots of trails and pretty streams. Perfect to get out of the sun in the summer, or for walk shielded from biting wind in the winter. Feels a bit like the Pacific Northwest

Beautiful area. The Nolde mansion is a must visit

Great place to for a hike, took my son before school today

What an amazing place to hike! A great community resource.

A well cared for facility with trails for a leisure walk or challenging run and everything inbetween. I feel fortunate to have this treasure so close to home.

A great hike, many trails and lots of native wildflowers.

Nice park with great hiking trails. Most trails are easy to walk and are marked well. There are a couple with moderate elevation changes and might be too steep for some. Beautiful coniferous forest.

Great, well-marked trails! A great place to hang out with a family, friends, significant other, etc.!

Its a great walk in the woods !

Relaxing hike along the creek + a mysterious castle

This was my first walk in Nolde Forest. Although were in the middle of winter and trees were bare, i found beauty in all the bright green colors of moss

Great hike up along a creek

Good workout walking the trails!

Beautiful woods with hiking trails and historic mansion

A gem for hikers. Easy to moderate. Beautiful

Beautiful!! Great programs and staff!!

Absolutely gorgeous. Hard to find a more quiet and calm place. I highly recommend you to visit here! Even the drive to get there was picture perfect.

Awesome trails.

Very pretty with moderate traffic. The trails are easy and scenic. The main trail from the lot traverses the creek funnel via a walk over bridge. It then follows the creek to a T where you go right. That takes you up to the mansion and beyond. No bicycles, dogs OK by on leash and poop pickup is a must. No trash cans. Very pretty state Forest but needs a lil better maintenance. This again is the Sawmill entrance/side of the park/forest.

Lots of trails, shade and parking areas. Mostly an education center for school students but fun for all ages.

Nice trails and stream

Fun experience

The mansion is very pretty and a great place to take pics, but the hiking trails are very confusing to me and I wish they were better marked.

This place is great if you want to just take a walk in the woods and relax a bit or to have a nice hike and run to the top. Either way i really enjoyed it.

What a wonderful park to hike. I think we covered all of the trails. Lots of ups and downs and a wide variety of Trails. The Mansion looks like something out of Disneyworld.

Literally right down the road from me and my dog loves it there.

Many nice trails. The history of the park is also unique.

Peaceful day nose place little walk not that big of an area

Beautiful park with tons of opportunities for family photos.

Love to take the dog for walks over here. Everyone is very friendly.

Very pretty forest to visit

Awesome place to take pictures.

Very well maintained

Beautiful park

Very nice hike Nov 25 . Elevation was a good workout for us in our upper 50s, but not difficult . Well maintained trails, well marked with signs, no blazes . We saw a fox, no other wildlife seen. We were out for 2 hours, have a lot more trails to explore, nice looping patterns .

Nice quiet walking area.

A little creepy until you learn the trails well. Pretty though!

Take the boulevard trail with your dog

Beautiful forest, creek, and trails; enchanting old mansion

Gorgeous, quiet, and the trails very very well marked.

The trails are so so very well maintained! Many trails and a few miles of them to follow. The Nolde mansion is AMAZING and the craftsmanship of this home and story behind it is so cool! So happy this place is down the road from me

Good place for short hiking.. Make sure you take a picture of the map and keep in mind phone networks are not good in there.

Beautiful place to walk and enjoy nature

Bf n I went here!!!!!!WE LOVED IT,,toke his sisters along they LOVED it 2!!!!

I like it. Great for long walks .

This is a beautiful area. Lots of tiny foot bridges over a small stream make this a really fun, light hiking spot.

Great hiking place, lots of trails, beautiful scenery! I like to see and hear the water from the creek, so peaceful.

Fun place to walk. Has easy and more difficult trails to walk.

Nice easy trails or challenging ones. Plenty of shade to keep the sun off you.

It was a pretty good game, not gonna lie. Very realistic forest and good sunlight.

Beautiful place. Great outdoors. Love nature!!!

Went for a hike here with scouts. We all had a great time.

Great hiking trails, off limits to mountain bikes though.

I have been going there over 30 years and never get enough. A great place for a family hike, quick run, or just to get in the woods for a bit.

Beautiful trails and mansion

Nice walking trails around the mansion.

Beautiful and well kept mansion.

Beautiful place great trails!

I tend to forget the beautiful landscape in our area!

Lots of nice hiking trails through the woods, from easy to moderately difficult; also a lovely old mansion. We met a friendly, informative park ranger, besides.

Great place for mellow trails and nice scenery!

Amazing trails to walk on.

Nolde is our place, we are there probably once a week easy. Its a great place to recharge your batteries so to speak!
