Bailey Arboretum
Scenic arboretum with a beautiful pond, a playground and well maintained and accessible at any level hiking trails. On the property there's a wildlife rescue and rehab center. The work they do is amazing! They have animals like great horned owls which appear to be permanent residents, and a few of the other birds which aren't able to be wild any longer due to injuries, missing eyes, and in one case an amputated wing.
