Community Resources

There is a great walking/jogging trail at The Rez that is easy to overlook.
The Reservoir Botanical Gardens and Trail, (.62 miles long according to our GPS), meanders through a beautiful wooded area along the banks of Mill Creek.
The trail entrance is at the back of the parking area at the Reservoir Community Center/Fire Station/Library Complex on Spillway Rd.
There are elevation changes along the way that enhance it’s workout value.
If you haven’t taken this walk please give it try, we think you will be impressed.
