Celery Bog is a great place for a relaxing walk. There are both paved in the meadows and wood chip paths in the forest. I strongly recommend taking the wood chip paths. The paths are great for walking, but not long enough for running although you could make this a small part of your run.
The scenery is great as long as you ignore the Walmart and housing subdivision on the other side of the bog. If you come early in the morning, you will get a chance to see more wild life. In the afternoon the park is more crowded and consequently the animals are more shy. There are always birders and photographers taking advantage of the parks beauty.
Amenities
- Bike racks are available
- Lilly Nature Center is somewhat lacking as a museum, but you can see interesting photographs taken in the park
- Parking is more than adequate. I have never had a trouble finding a parking spot
