The Tri-Cities is known for it's outdoor activities. A few of the many things that our people like to do are hiking, biking, dog walking and horseback riding. These activities can be easily done at the Chamna Natural Preserve. It has multiple trails for all skill levels and many, many things to view on each one. (The following information is from the Tapteal Greenway Website describing Chamna)
Chamna Natural Preserve is a 276-acre park with more than 11 miles of trails winding through shrub-steppe, riparian, and wetland habitat. Historically Chamna had been used for grazing and farming. There are still remnants of the grape and asparagus crops as well as the old concrete pipe irrigation system. Watch for black-tailed jackrabbits, river otters, deer and other wildlife in the preserve.
Equestrians, bicyclists, hikers, bird-watchers, and other trail users enjoy Chamna year-round. The winter time offers great cross country skiing and snow shoeing if we get enough snow. Tapteal Greenway and other groups maintain the trails.
