Schedule a Visit

We welcome visitors to stroll around the PGT April through October. All we ask is that you let us know a day ahead if it’s your first visit to the area. A large map display on the porch, along with a map brochure can help you find your way around the trails. Wayfinding signs help mark the way. We have paved trails leading to Beaver Lake and the Lotus Ponds, and mowed trails through the prairie, woods and down to Hillers Creek. Along the way to Hillers Creek we also have two new overlooks with benches.
