If getting in touch with nature is on your agenda, Wehr Nature Center in Franklin is the place for you.
The 220-acre nature preserve has a lot to offer in the way of outdoor fun. In addition to a visitor center with educational exhibits and live animals, there are five miles of trails.
Of the park’s five trails, Lake Loop is the most popular, which makes sense since it winds through a variety of habitats and includes a cascading waterfall.
Though lacking in miles and difficulty, the trail delivers when it comes to incredible views — and that’s because it follows the shoreline of Mallard Lake.
Spend some time checking out the site's other amenities. Aside from additional hiking trails, there are a variety of gardens as well as a play area with a sandbox, stepping stones, and log cabin playhouse.
