Audubon Acres

"We absolutely enjoyed our first ever visit here. Welcome center host was very friendly and helpful. He explained the map of the area so well. Has nice gift shop with artifacts and lots to offer. Building is beautiful inside and out. Has restrooms that are nice. He gave us history information about the place and area. The Cherokee Arboretum was awesome. So much history here! We walked the trails and followed the creek. It’s a beautiful trail that is shaded and so peaceful. Easy walk as well. All through the trail are signs pointing out different trees that the Cherokee used back then to treat and help so many illness’s and their many uses. So cool! Trail along creek had a suspended bridge across the creek. Signs explaining the history of so much. It’s truly fascinating and educating. The flower garden is so beautiful. Train track there also. We were lucky enough to see one pass. There’s plenty of parking and it’s easy to drive to. Kid friendly but no pets allowed. Has benches throughout the trails to sit and rest. We endured no ticks or bug bites! It’s a wonderful experience at a very cheap price. I highly recommended visiting here. Thanks for such a wonderful experience!"

"A lovely sanctuary with lots of hiking trails, some historic buildings, a swinging bridge and more! Very friendly staff and for those looking to learn more, a good bit of historical displays in the visitors center."

"This is an amazing adventuring nature park. They say you can also kayak or canoe here. It’s really enjoyable and great for kids. The history of this place is unique, they have a front office with historical items and the staff get 5/5 stars for being amazing! Definitely wear bug repellent in the summer."
