Robert B. Gordon Natural Area for Environmental Studies

BEAUTIFUL place to take a hike. Just remember to take only picture and leave only foot prints.

Great potential. There are 4 GNA parking spots available in parking lot R that do not require a WCU parking permit right near the park's main entrance.
They are putting in many plantings but there is no information about what they are planting and why. The trails would also benefit from additional painted tree trail markers making the different trails easier to tell from the "non-trails". Some fallen trees need to be removed and a bench out on one of the trails needs repair.
Fixing these things and maybe labeling some of the flora would make it a 5 star. Be aware that while the area is clearly marked no bikes the only other people I saw on the trail were on bikes.

This is a gorgeous place to visit. It's very peaceful and it feels pure.

This is a very peaceful place; I've been there almost every day this summer. It is full of surprises and new trails to take. I highly recommend this area if you live close.

Loved exploring this area. Went in with a friend looking for a few Geocaches. After that we went off trails a bit. Great place for mountain biking, small hikes, and misc. activities/games outside enjoying nature. I would highly recommend this place to casual hikers, mountain bikers, or families.
