Breathing in fresh air and spending time in nature is good for the soul, no matter the time of the year. A nature trail provides us with the opportunity to reconnect with nature, to enjoy the natural beauty, and maybe even to catch a glimpse of local wildlife. If you’re on the lookout for a family-friendly hike, you can’t go wrong on this picturesque nature trail in Missouri.
Springfield Conservation Nature Center provides an idyllic backdrop for a leisurely few hours among nature with the family, friends, or even solo.
For an easy trek the whole family will love, follow the Long Loop nature trail, which clocks in at just 2.1 miles. Even with little ones, you should be able to complete it within an hour.
If you're up for more adventure after following the nature trail, consider hiking the Boardwalk Trail or the Savanna Ridge Trail. Both are paved and take a half an hour and 15 minutes respectively to hike.
