Natural Lands' Saunders Woods Preserve

Such a lovely nature hike and not crowded at all.

Beautiful natural trails

So well-maintained. Nice trails offer some challenge even when you don't have lots of time.

Plenty of parking for this petite hidden gem. The paths are very well maintained and mostly grass/stamped down by foot traffic. Lots of nature sounds despite being in a sparse residential area. It connects to a trail that then connects to another park, Henry Lane Park, if you want a longer walk/hike. Went on a Tuesday at 1100 so there was hardly any trail friends. Also, dogs have to be leashed so that’s an added bonus if you’re wanting to avoid dogs crashing into you or jumping on you.

My first exploration of Saunders Woods. Just did some cursory looking around. Trails look pretty navigable and not difficult to find. Did not notice restrooms. Appears to have adequate parking. Very few people there this afternoon. I saw one person in a car and another person walking. Too of four cars, including mine. I'll be going to Saunders Woods again.
