coffee creek watershed conservancy preserve

This little walking trail, about a 5k is very scenic, a little hilly and has coffee creek running alongside. Great for individuals, walkers, runners children, and deer seem to find it nice. A very nice afternoon enjoyment for 20 minutes or a few quiet hours.

We love to run the trail and visit for walks. Unfortunately one of the companies is ruining the back half of the trails. Very scenic!

We were staying at the Hilton Garden Inn which is maybe a half mile from this park. Fun to run and see all of the flowers, wild birds, water features and small lake.

Beautiful 167-acre preserve, 4+ miles of trails, waterfalls, fountain and tons of great places to take pictures.Over 2 miles of hard surfaced trails for wheelchairs and easy for strollers. Great place for weddings, birding, nature watching.

Well maintained and marked trails. You can walk up on the tamest deer at any given moment. Safe and lit for night walking.

Coffee Creek Watershed Conservancy Preserve is a great place to visit and walk. There are plenty of trails for people and/or people and their dogs to walk. It is a beautiful setting near the heart of downtown Chesterton.

i was not sure about this but reading other reviews helped explore and was very nice and well kept with lots of things to see

I take my dogs walking here when I get a chance. There is a lot of wildlife to see - deer, rabbits, birds, etc. I

It's a good place to hike, but if it's rained recently the trail will be muddy in areas. Wear appropriate shoes! There are picnic areas. There's a large pond with a fountain.

This combined untouched, and residential area features some of the country's greatest variety of birds. The Watershed Conservancy works hard to preserve 3 miles of lovely hiking paths, a beautiful natural amphitheater on a lovely fountained pond. There is a meadow large enough for kite flying, and even hot air balloons. Several time a year, the management holds free concerts in the amphitheater, and there is a large pavilion and meadow for activities on the East side of Coffee Creek. It is a wooden haven in the midst of all the comfort amenities and just 50 miles from Chicago.

I have walked here most mornings for many years with a friend. It is remarkably cheap therapy for the soul as well as great exercise! I usually have a camera with me and have countless photos of the deer and each season's flowers. If you love birds it will not disappoint especially during seasonal migration. The Coffee Creek redwinged blackbirds are the first singers in Spring.We were fortunate several years ago to come across tiny furballs running towards us on the back path on one of the first warm and sunny Spring days. It took a moment to register that these curious little balls of fur were brand new coyote pups! We looked to the side of the path where mom coyote was watching and slooowly backed up and turned away. No problem! We also have seen 8 point stags surrounded by their does. It is a gorgeous escape ! Don't be afraid to enjoy the Conservancy in winter. Each Season has much to offer!

I live near the Preserve and enjoy morning walks on the trails there. Most are of pavers and boardwalks. The back trail (3.2 miles, I believe.) has gravel areas as well as the pavers and boardwalks. Most trails have some hilly areas. There is a frog pond and the Coffee Creek River runs through it where you can see steelhead trout or coho salmon spawning at certain times of the year.

Quiet peacful setting. I go there to walk with my sister and love the trails while viewing nature and wildlife. Great local setting for exercising or social group gatherings. ;)

Coffee Creek Watershed is a great resource for people living in or visiting the Chesterton, Indiana area. The trails run behind homes but you would never know the houses were there because the preserve quickly takes you into nature. Birds and deer are everywhere. A very accessible place for someone just walking (or even in a wheelchair) and also a great place to jog.

Great, natural setting. Lots of deer. We saw a doe with her fawn scrambling behind. Weird walking by houses that skirt the path, though, and seeing right into them. Peaceful for a nice walk.
