About this adventure
Spanning 927 acres of protected Piedmont woodland and tranquil streams in northeast Charlotte, Reedy Creek Nature Preserve offers a scenic outdoor escape for families. The modern indoor Nature Center features live native reptiles and amphibians, hands-on touch tables, wildlife puppet stages, and an early-childhood discovery library. Outside, families can follow more than 10 miles of wooded trails, including an ADA-accessible wooden boardwalk crossing wetland ponds and the historic stone ruins of the 1790 Robinson Rockhouse. An adjacent community park includes expansive playgrounds with swings and climbing structures, dog parks, and shaded picnic shelters.
