Located behind Aldi off Airport Rd, Miller Creek Nature Reserve is a peaceful escape from the nearby suburban areas. The beautiful trails travel through an old Red Pine Plantation and cross through beech forests, meadows, and along the Boardman River.

There is parking behind the building, plan to meet Gabi by the trail sign at 3:30pm. We’ll cover two loops, a total of 1.5 miles, with boardwalk, bridges, a pond overlook, and views of the river. There are two main hills, as well as regular ups and downs: wear comfortable shoes and bring a light jacket.
