Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve in Goshen KY By: Stephanie

My kids woke up early from their naps yesterday and since it was such a gorgeous day, we hopped in the car to try something new.  We went to Goshen to check out the Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve right off of 42 near the Mahan Library.  My children love exploring and simple pleasures and they were super excited that I was bringing the dog. 

There is a small parking lot near the Nature Center. We did not go in the Nature Center since I had the dog. So, if anyone has been there and been in that building, please comment and let everyone know about it.

My kids took off running toward the nearby swings and I panned around looking for the entrance to the 8.5 miles of walking trails.  To the left, I saw an entrance and we headed that way.  You can pick up a map there!  We just started walking and my kids had a blast collecting sticks, picking the different paths to go on and crossing bridges. There are picnic tables throughout if you want to pack a treat or meal.  I am sure my kids could have stayed for a long while, but I had to get home to cook dinner! 

Although we didn’t go to it, there is a playground on the other side of the preserve. You can access it via car if you don’t want to walk across the field and back.
