Visit to Heron Haven

So on Wednesday of last week, Asher and I visited Heron Haven in Omaha. Really, we had errands to run and were in the area, so it just worked out. The weather was not the greatest, but we wanted to see the changing colors of fall.

It was pretty with the fallen leaves on the trail. However, the water was drained and the birds were gone. Any water there was swampy and gross. We did not see any wildlife except for a blue jay and a couple quick squirrels.

If in the area, I would still recommend visiting Heron Haven but maybe wait until spring.

Visit to Heron Haven

My friend Laura told us about Heron Haven, an urban animal sanctuary located just off of 120th and Maple. It is not very well kept, but it was still full of wildlife. We saw 2 deer, geese, birds, squirrels, turtles, and few mother geese! It was fun to walk the short trails and enjoy the beautiful weather. There is a short boardwalk and then another photo trail made of mulch. The mulch trail is where we saw the deer. It was very peaceful.

Going to the Heron Haven? Bring your walking shoes, water and a camera and you will be ready to go. Although we did not need one, it is mostly stroller friendly, too.
