Clear Springs Nature Preserve

The parking lot is easily accessible with a port a potty to use. There's lots of trails and visibly marked. Very peaceful.

Beautiful and tucked away. Really enjoyed it and will return but will bring bug spray as there's some biters! It was also super convenient that there was a portable toilet in the parking area.

An old fish hatchery with trails around it. Fairly easy trails, a quaint bench between the two small ponds, and the old fish chutes are still visible from one of the trails.

This is a great little trail! Beautiful and scenic. There are multiple elevations and the path is a natural foot path that have some roots as obstacles. The trails would be difficult if you have limited mobility. It's very wooded until you come up to a small beach, big enough for one picnic table. I did not make use of the water access with a canoe etc. There are three parking areas and multiple branches of trails and one porta potty at the main parking area. Near that area are a number of picnic tables as well. I did not look to see if there were trash recepticals. I imagine this place will be beautiful in the fall.

The name on the sign is actually CLEAR SPRINGS so don't think you're in the wrong spot. This is the right spot.

Who knew this gorgeous spring, pond, and trails were tucked between two busy roads - Fruitvale (main entrance) and Weesies - northeast of Montague? Whether one opts for a short hike, or explores several trails, the beauty enjoyed will match the energy expended. Topping it off: it's free!

On a warm Saturday morning we hiked in the Clear Creek Nature Preserve. The reserve consist of a number of well marked trails featuring a large pond, wildlife, including deer, and many gigantic old trees. Benches and informational signs have been placed along the trails. A small parking area with a few picnic tables are also available. Some wildflowers are also scattered along the way. It is a fun place to hike and explore.

This place is kinda hard to find the first couple times, at least for me lol. But this place is so beautiful great place for a hike.

Very beautiful place to take a little hike out in the woods!

caught a 6 inch and a 8 inch rainbow trout yesterday. released them back immediately. did not know there was decent fish here. cool to see. watch out for wasps nests though.

Beautiful, Quiet place to hike and explore. Well marked trails. Lots of signs identifying and describing the beautiful trees found here.

Fantastic, scenic paths to explore. Random virgin timber a delight.

Hidden gem of a nature reserve if you want a quiet easy hike for an hour.

Had multiple trails and the springs was awesome! Great place to go for a walk. Dog friendly, multiple picnic tables and solid wooden benches throughout the trail. A spring and pond. Easily mapped out; for all skill levels. Port a potty.

Wonderful hiking trails and gorgeous scenery

This is a great little trail that is well marked. It surrounds a pond that had both a dam and the remnants of an old mill, both of which are interesting to look at. They also have information markers for each type of tree that were very informative and interesting to read. On our way back to the parking lot a man was trail running with a dog which seems like a great thing to do here!

This is a park full of trails that offer a quiet experience for you and your family plus pets. The trails surround man made ponds that are a part of a creek, so bring bug spray. It is Handicap accessible with a fire ring next to the water.

This place is so peaceful to walk, a few trails to choose from. There’s a pond in the middle of all the trails that’s absolutely beautiful, the water is so clear. The trees are huge and diverse, they have little information stands about the popular trees. Definitely a place to check out!

make sure to wear bug spray, we did and had no problems but the mosquitos were following us. Beautiful wooded dirt paths. lots of dead trees, but they are beautiful still

Enjoy coming here. Often quiet and not a lot of people.

This is a nice hiking spot. The two ponds are equally scenic in all four seasons.
