Overview

You’ll be taken in by this preserve’s rolling hills and scenic vistas.

Two fishing piers extend onto 33-acre Timber Lake inviting you to cast a line or just enjoy the view. Two separate entrances and trail systems are divided by Timber Lake.


Raven Glen’s main entrance has a 2.1-mile gravel trail for hiking, bicycling and cross-country skiing, a separate grass trail for horseback riding only, and a 0.4-mile woodland walk for hiking only.

Raven Glen’s west entrance offers a 2.12-mile trail for hiking, bicycling, horseback riding and cross-country skiing. Trails east and west of Timber Lake do not connect.

Please keep dogs leashed and on trails at all times, and pick up after them.
