Scott M. Matheson Nature Preserve and Governors Groves

Scott M. Matheson Nature Preserve and Governors Groves offers a short, flat 0.9-mile walking trail that's ideal for birdwatching and learning about the area's history. The preserve has benches along the route and features a rainbow crossing tribute stone, though it lacks shade, restrooms, and water fountains. Winter visits are more comfortable than summer, when temperatures soar and foxtails dominate the open fields.
