Welcome to Howard Christensen Nature Center. The nature center sits on 135 acres and has over 12 miles of hiking trails to explore. The trails are open daily, year round from dawn to dusk. The Interpretive Center is open Friday through Sunday from 11-4pm. There is a $3 non member fee. Please note that some of the back trails do cross over to State Game Area, but none of the caches are placed on game land. All caches placed with permission of HCNC.
