Chaplin Nature Center

Such a great place to explore! Hundreds of acres of woodland, prairie and sandbars. You can be there half the day and never see another soul.

Have been going to Chaplin Nature Center for over 25 years. Wonderful hiking trails, and as well a sand beach and river frontage. I have seen turkeys, squirrels, deer, eagles, hawks, egrets and many others on my hikes. Great place for the family to spend time together and get in nature.

Love this place not really big but it is very nice and a very good walk, the only down fall is a home owner in the area has a fan boat very loud and a bit disruptive for a nature walk. Given the fact I live in a large city not a reason for us not to go back we have been twice and will definitely take the 1hr drive to go again.

Very wooded, well kept by staff. Great hiking. Lots of dear and birds. Wear a good sturdy hiking shoe.

The place is definitely far out of the way very nice place for a nature hike.
