Ijams Nature Center is a hub of walking, biking, running trails and a nature center that showcases aquatic animals found in the area. There are also really great picnic spots and play areas for kids. Come wearing comfortable shoes and choose an easy nature trail, or walk down to the quarry and throw rocks in the water. Canoes, kayaks and paddle boards are available to rent for a small fee (seasonal), as well.
