Snowshoe for river views in winter months.

This short walk in the Quinn Nature Preserve borders a two-acre meadow—a demonstration plot for native grasses, an enriched riverside environment for birds and other animals, and the solar-powered Meadow Sounds Kiosk. As you walk, discover five large, wind-powered, kinetic sculptures by artist Lyman Whitaker dotted around the meadow.

The Meadow Loop trail is surfaced with hard-packed material that allows the passage of strollers and wheelchairs.
