We hiked the nature trail on a pretty hot summer day. The trail traverses through woodlands, so the shade really was welcome. Although up on a bluff, the trails are just gently rolling. We savored fantastic ravine views and enjoyed spotting birds! Currently, the preserve is dense with foliage so I would like to return at a time with less foliage to really check out the ravines. Overall, we reveled in a hike at a leisurely pace surrounded by spectacular scenery.

If you want to extend your nature adventure, River Bluffs Regional Park is on the Beaver Island Trail, an asphalt biking and hiking trail. You can take the Beaver Island Trail to Riverside Park where you can see the St. Cloud Dam. While we did not take the trail to the dam, we did find another time during our trip to see the dam. Beautiful!
