A space for everyone, a little at a time

We want Shadow Mountain Nature Park to be loved by everyone, but not all at once. Access and activities will be guided by Shadow Mountain Nature Park staff. We believe smaller groups will have a small impact on the natural surroundings while making a big impact on our visitors. Enjoy nature without the crowds—see what programs we are planning to offer!
