Very big and great views of the city. Lots of woods to run around in.

We had a wonderful time here. We took our new puppy to the dog park. Beautiful walking trails with beautiful views as well as a safe area to walk your dog off leash. Other pet owners super friendly. If you need a place just to relax and let your dog get some energy out I would recommend here

Terrific nature preserve. It would take multiple days to explore the entire area. In our visit, we could explore one trail. Its a wide open and beautiful space with changing leaves and many ponds and good trails. Access is very easy due to the ample parking and ease of directions getting there. there is new construction in the area with a stoplight making it easier to get in and out of the park itself. I would definitely have to come back again and again to finish exploring the whole park.

Wonderful park. Tried the mountain bike trails and they were great. Green, blue and black trails. Im a newbie at mt biking and found the green and blue to be nicely challenging. Trails weave in and out of the woods, pass by the lake, go through fields. Its a beautiful area.

Huge park! I went there to hike, and spent 4 hours on the west side alone. Plenty of elevation changes with beautiful vistas and shadowy forests. The natural trails were well kept and easy to traverse. All around great place to spend the day!

Beautiful year round. Im allergic to basically everything that grows here and I still enjoy it. The dog park is top notch! I just wish my dogs couldnt find the mud pit

This park has great prairies with a nice campground. Lowry nature center has great programs and nice trails

We had a fantastic experience camping here. The sites are well maintained and clean. Great playground for kids and beach area. They have a lot of water toys for guests to use. We will definitely be going back!

Great place to visit with your family, especially if you love the outdoors. Had some great hikes and some beautiful scenery.

Great trails for all skill levels. Highly recommended.

Were coming back in winter to do some of the longer trails which Im sure well enjoy. We were just going to do some of the smaller trails by the nature center though the flies ruined the day even with bug spray. When we were driving around trying to find a map the flies were already bothering out in the open. When we found the small trails we knew there was just to many flies to actually enjoy the walk. Dont get me wrong this place had so many recreational areas for events, picnics, water activities and whatever else you might enjoy. Just dont go when the bugs are bad and youll be a-okay

What a great place to feel like you are in the country. It is always nice and quiet. Great place to bike and hike. The trails are paved and unpaved depending on what you prefer. The trails are all well maintained. Bathrooms are also well maintained. So many hidden spots to explore throughout the park. Be sure to bring bug spray as there are a lot of deer flies at times. So many pretty lakes scattered throughout the park. Lots of areas to explore and learn about nature.

Fun and flowy new trail! Getting pretty busy, so best to go at of times

On this visit the flies were almost unbearable on our walk, I wish I would have remembered the bug spray. Update: We went biking today, very good trails for that.

This place is huge. Just took a couple hours with the kids to explore a bit and saw lots of wildlife in that short time. Im looking forward to seeing more of the park.

Wonderful wild life area. Perfect for work out activity

Quiet, out of the way place with good views.

Awesome mtb trails. A great place to enjoy the outdoors.

Fantastic nature area with nature center (free) many trails, natural play area(woods) and sledding hill. Snow shows and sleds available for rent. Sleds are $1.00 and snow shoes are $3.00 I think. Everything is free unless you purchase a snack, souvenir or class. Even parking is free !

New MTB trails are great. Could use a little more signage though.

A beautiful place to enjoy a morning or afternoon walk. Not too difficult and truly lovely. We saw lots of birds and made some fun memories. Even got to see some maple syrup being made near the parking lot. Smells amazing! Also saw a find rescued birds being well cared for. A perfect place to relax and breathe.

The grasslands are full of flowering wild grasses amd.other plants. BEAUTIFUL!!!

Beautiful campground. Awesome new mountain bike trails!

Beautiful and awesome 3 mile walking path.

Beautiful park and trail but the road going there needs work.

Check out the new MTB trails. They did an amazing job putting them together!

Carver Park and the Lowry Nature Center are fantastic! The walking and biking trails are excellent and have gorgeous views of the surroundings.

Lots of variety! Well maintained.

Love this park. Great for all size of dogs. Very clean & organized

Nice camping. Great beach. If only they had showers and running water.

Love this park! Its a peaceful getaway with many bird species not common to the cities.

This a great metro area park. There are activities that you can sign up for, kids or adults. As well if you just want to be alone with nature there are awesome hiking trails (which double as snowshoe trails). I just about forgot to mention the horse trails. And miles of paved bike trails.

Lovely park with a nice mix of forest, prairie and wetlands. We usually park in the Grimm Rd lot and follow the horse trails.

Rented a kayak on Lake Auburn this afternoon. Nice time on the water, no hassle from the few large boats around.

Excellent I will come back

Well maintained trails and great views. Just stay away during horse fly season...

Nice system of trails and an informative nature center.

Really top notch and large park in the west burbs, actually borders the arboretum.

Great trails for summer hike and winter snowshoeing.

Great spot for bike camping as long as you’re okay sharing the camp site!

Kids love this park and beach.

Wonderful place to get out and take a nice walk without going too far out if the way.

Great place to bike ride.

Beautiful bike paths! Stop by the small cities for beer and ice cream!

Awesome trails and beautiful palce

Beautiful nature preserve with nature trails through prairie, forest, wetlands and open waters. Separate areas for playgrounds, bike trails and more. Nature Center with year round programming and naturalists on staff. Volunteer opportunities too!

Love this place! So much to offer for singles, couples, and families. Wonderful hiking trails and great educational and recreational programs. Must check it out!

My dog loved this park! Nice paths to walk with some parts open field and others shaded. Beautiful views of the lake in the summer

Second field trip here. My little girl enjoyed herself. Staff was patient with her. Good place for school field trips.

Great place for a fun bike ride. Trails are in excellent condition, scenery lovely and diverse - with lakes, prairie, woods. Havent done much on the walking trails, I get enough from biking out here on the LRT, but they look nice as well.

I rented a Kayak and had a nice time on the lake.

Great trails and no city noise. Its never very crowded either. Its a nice escape close to the Twin Cities.

Good archery range and course, a few of the targets need replacing as my arrow went through but mostly well kept.

Its just a nice escape in the fishing is unreal

Great new singletrack

I camped here with friends a couple of years ago and it was a very relaxing environment to be in. Some of the trails were in disrepair but I felt there were enough paths opened up to make for an interesting hike. Hopefully, they can get this place back up to snuff again!

Great time. Lovely campground sites. Clean porta/pit toilets. Well kept area. Easy to find!

Fantastic hiking and biking trails and kayak rentals at the campground

This a gem of a place for so many reasons. I visit several times a week and this year almost every day. It helps I live close. Saved my sanity during the lockdown.

Lots of trails to go on, beautiful areas. Didnt see any wildlife except caterpillars, bees, grass hoppers and a couple butterflies though but it could have been the time I went (around 11 on Sept 12). They allow dogs on the paved pathways also. When I went I only saw a couple people and it was great.

Well maintained property as well as good company.

Big spacious park

Biking trails, beautiful walks

This park is awesome. So many trails. Rough trails and tar trails. Beautiful woods, lakes and everything you could want

Great trails for running or biking

Awesome location! Only an hour drive from the cities and really makes you feel like youre out in the wilderness. The nature center is great and entertained the kiddo plus the trails are well maintained and good for walking or running. The sites were close together bit still managed to offer some privacy. Would go again!

Great place to bike

Great park to explore and get outdoors.

A beautiful place to get lost in.

The kids & I love to visit here. Great hiking trails both paved and unpaved, the kids have fun exploring the outdoors!

Stayed at the campgrounds. Great place to camp with beach and playground nearby. Restrooms included are private and simple (but smelly), small lights at night inside. Great small beach with fishing dock. Firewood and disposal of garbage are separate purchases with small state fees. Mosquitoes are horrible, even during the day, but otherwise liked the place!

Beautiful park.

Carver nature center is a beautiful place to walk. It has diverse trails passing through woods and fields and by lakes. The trails are well marked and maintained. There is usually a fair amount of wildlife here also.

A good place to hike; scenic and with varying trails.

Pretty, but hiking trails were all marked for skiing.

The trails are fantastic here. This place is such a hidden gem. Perfect for bike rides, runs, picnics, and strolls.

Awesome park, but if your dog is at all vocal when they play then you will get chewed out by someone eventually

Nice group campsite. Participated in the archery program. Nice equipment and knowledgeable staff. Great introduction to archery for kids.

Awesome park. Lots of area for the dog to roam

A variety of birds and plants, perfect for those who want to experience nature. A great place for those amateur photographers.

Love this park. Great trails for running or biking and a really well done Archery course.

Very nice park and well maintained. We had a nice bike ride and picnic. This is worth the time needed to visit.

Great childrens programming - miles of paved trails for walking and biking - one of the premier jewels in the three rivers park system

Beautiful, great place.

My family and I come here once a year. Always have a fun time. They have lots of bike trails and some watercraft for rent.

We had a great time biking here. There are miles of bike/walking trails. Theres an archery park, picnic tables and it connects by trail to the Lowry Nature Center (but no bikes allowed). The only reason I gave 4 stars was that we were hoping there would be a big kid park, like with equipment, for the kids when we would take a break, but we didnt find one. But its so well kept, with beautiful views and plenty of parking. Well return for sure. Its a KILLER workout with those hills. :)

Pretty much had the park to myself.

It was a modern campground. Its good for a quick nights stay but not the ultimate camping experience.

The campground was really nice and we pretty much had the place to ourselves this time of year.

The trails are well kept and there is some great scenery. Its especially nice in the fall. This is a wonderful place to walk, bike, rollerblade etc.

I enjoyed my time here walking around the place, and the one time I was able to participate in the special hunts the workers were helpful and friendly.

It was fun.

A must-see excellent bike trail attaches to the LRT Trail

Beautiful trail, even in March. Amazing variety of moss and variety of plants in general. Lovely time, will definitely be going back!

Good place for range shoot

Beautiful trails and stuff to do all year round. I try to go here a few times a year. Great place to take the kids to be active outside in the summer.

Try the campground. Beautiful spot just out of the cities

Beautiful beach, and very good facilities. Nature preserved, along with ease of use for people.

Park is large with nice trails and lots of wooded/grassy areas for doggy to run. There is a smaller area for little dogs.

Teaching staff is so good here with the class trips. I now visit often!
