Melissa LovelaceThere are multiple trails but after the initial marker there are not consisten trail markers and they cross each other. The creek is really nice with large rocks. There are some areas with caution poles due to trail hazards. We also checked out the butterfly garden but unfortunately the butterflies were sleeping in that morning. The goats 🐐 were there though. It is definitely a kid friendly park and we encountered families catching bugs to study or taking little ones to visit the goats or look for butterflies.

Atarah RumphLovely place for a walk! I have yet to attend any events, even though the calender has some fun sounding events. Nice place to also take pics for a photoshoot and learn a little history about the mill. Restrooms are clean and well stocked! There are cute goats, chickens, turtles, rabbits on - site as well to say hello to.

Deborah WilkensAutrey Mill is a great place to have close by! The kids love stopping by to visit the animals. My kids do summer camp here every year for a week and absolutely love it. They are outside most of the day and do all kinds of fun crafts. They also love the counselors. Highly recommend the camps

Anthony RiversWhat a great little hidden gem. Was headed to the area and decided to stop by. Sometimes it may seem like the all trails app is taking you in the wrong direction but if you follow it it will lead you to where you're supposed to go. Nice and green and covered so you don't have to worry about heat. Lots of great scenery including a little creek saw a deer and other little critters running around. Very well maintained but not paved so you want to be aware of that if you're in the area you should check it out. It's not for running more for just a good walk and some time out either with the dog or if you're just trying to clear your head. There's lots of what looks like historic things here that are really cool to check out as well. Also has a place with tables to have lunch. Lots of great photo opportunities.

Cindi WilliamsHad this spot on my Google Maps for a while now and this past Sunday for #sabbath we finally got to check it out. No admission fee, great parking. Visitors center was clean and welcoming. Ryan was working the desk and was helpful and nice to speak to. They have lots of animals in different areas of the property. Snakes, turtles, goats, chickens and more. The grounds are very well cared for and well labeled with signage. We plan to return very soon for a hike on the trail and some Plein air painting time near the goat pen.
