Long Creek Nature Preserve Improvements
Long Creek Nature Preserve improvements include new and upgraded amenities designed to enhance the visitor experience across the preserve’s approximately 9-acre waterfront site. Project features include expanded shell walking paths, new boardwalk elements, overlooks along the water, and shaded gathering areas. Together, these additions support the preserve’s role as a destination for quiet recreation, nature appreciation, and educational experiences.

January 2025

Significant progress continued in January with construction of several new visitor features, including boardwalks, dock overlooks along the water, gazebos with picnic tables, and expanded shell walking paths. When complete, the enhanced trail network will span much of the preserve’s 9 acres, helping create a “living classroom” feel for visitors exploring the waterfront environment.

Surveying for the project has been completed, and crews began clearing pathways throughout the preserve. These cleared routes will be used to establish the new walkways and expanded trail connections. At this stage, the project remained scheduled for completion in Q1 2025.
