Three Lakes Park is one of my FAVORITES in the area!!! I have been visiting this park for years and love taking my kids here to hike, fish, explore, play and best of all check out the Nature Center. If you searching for this cache, PLEASE make time for the Nature Center!!!
Also, this cache got its name from the blue heron that scared the mess out of me while I was hiking the trails. Of course he had a fish in his mouth, so I bothered his dinner!!!
Three Lakes Park and Nature Center bring together the three worlds of air, water, and land for visitors to explore. The Nature Center is a 6,500 square foot facility featuring a variety of exhibits designed to provide hands-on experiences. The 50,000 gallon aquarium also gives visitors a “fish-eye” view of the underwater world.
The exhibits in the Nature Center will introduce visitors to the plant and animal life native to the area and wildlife living in the wetlands and woodlands of the park. By providing an assortment of live exhibits, dioramas, and interactive displays, the Nature Center offers something for every field of natural interest and is appropriate for all ages.
Programs and tours are held throughout the year at Three Lakes Park & Nature Center.
Three Lakes Park is open daily from dawn to dusk.
