| Hike Summary: | Autrey Mill has over 2 miles of nature trails that feature a walk through a hardwood forest to pine forest. They wander past a scenic creek with rocky shoals, many spring seeps, mature trees, wildflowers, native plants, and a variety of animal life. There is plenty to explore with bridges, an outlook, a farmer's attempt to discover gold, foundations stones of the old mill, plus benches and pavilions. The trails are almost all in shade and I had no problems using a stroller. I got a trail map at the visitor center which was helpful, except that there were trails in the forest that were not on the map. Annoying for me. There are some neat things there - an adobe shelter and a teepee. There is a farm museum and a preserved house and church that are beautiful. The visitor center has geese, snakes, turtles and even a chinchilla. |
