Nature Trails

The Kelley Farm nature trails wind along the Mississippi River and through woodlands and restored prairie.

Well-marked walking trails provide an opportunity to see some of the same types of wildlife and plants that the Kelleys would have seen. You might see white-tailed deer, bald eagles, great blue herons, foxes, and wild turkeys.

  • Signs along the Farm Trail tell the story of pioneer farming and its impact on the land. Wheelchair accessible. 0.8 mile
  • The River and Woodland Trail heads upstream along the Mississippi before running into oak woods, home to dozens of varieties of songbirds. 1.1 mile
  • The Prairie Trail meanders through restored prairie and abandoned farm fields. 0.8 mile
