Fountain Creek Regional Park: Cattail Marsh Nature and Fountain Creek Trails

Turtles sunning on a log, cormorants airing their wings, and great blue herons mirrored in the pond’s still waters are among the common wildlife sightings hikers of all sizes and staminas enjoy at Fountain Creek. The 2.5-mile linear park encompasses one of the region’s few wetlands, featuring wildlife observation pavilions and informative kiosks around the spring-fed ponds.
