Powder Valley Nature Center

Powder Valley Conservation Nature Center is nestled within 112 acres of oak-hickory forest in a quiet corner of a busy urban world. Our name comes from the historical use of the general vicinity for manufacture and storage of explosive powder used in the Civil War and World War II. Leave your chaotic lifestyle behind and escape to the tranquility of nature. The area has three trails, one of which has interpretive signs and is disabled accessible. Naturalists conduct interpretive programs on numerous conservation topics for schools, homeschool families, civic groups, and the general public.

Inside Powder Valley's Visitor Center is a nature center geared towards kids and nature exploration. View the collection of animals, including live snakes, fish, and turtles. Please check website for Visitor Center hours.
