As you can see from my crazy and messy map, there are a lot of trails at this 66-acre nonprofit center! It’s quite easy to get disoriented when you’re constantly confronted by intersections — the Nature Center has a really good map! Best to print it out before heading out here.
I recommend walking the perimeter of the park, along trail 1, and also checking out the pretty gardens. No dogs allowed, and there is no fee to walk here. It does look like lots of interesting programs take place at Merryspring; it seems like a wonderful resource.
Directions: Merryspring Nature Center is at the end of Conway Road, 3/10 of a mile off Route 1. Conway Road is the first left after Hannaford, or if you’re coming from downtown Camden, it is the first right before the Hannaford grocery store.
