If you are into nature and live in Bergen County chances are you might have visited the Tenafly Nature Center and Lost Brook Preserve. But have you visited Tenafly’s 8 acre Churchill Nature Preserve?
Map of the Churchill Nature Preserve
The trail head (a blue blaze) starts as soon as you enter through the main entrance on Churchill Road.
This small nature preserve has a surprising amount of flora. It includes:
- Red Oak
- White Oak
- Red Maple
- White Ash
- Hay Scented Fern
- Spicebush
- Black Birch
- Many others
A tributary of the Overpeck Creek flows through the preserve.
There are two bridges and one stream crossing. Sounds like a major ordeal for only an 8 acre site! It makes for a cool walk. Or possibly wet if you miss your footing during the stream crossing. And if you get tired there are three benches scattered throughout the preserve to take a seat.
This little preserve is the perfect place to get a quick fix of nature when you are on the go.
