A walk on the trails at Kalamazoo Nature Center provides a relaxing escape; a walk after the first snowfall will take you to another world.

I often run and bike on the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail near Kalamazoo Nature Center but had never been on the grounds until recently. The first measurable snowfall of the season shows everything we love about Michigan winters.

Kalamazoo Nature Center is open year 'round at 7000 N. Westnedge- get out and explore it for yourself!
