Ogden Nature Center
A nature preserve on Ogden's west side with over 1.5 miles of easy trails past ponds and marsh, and a mews of Utah birds of prey that are too injured or imprinted to return to the wild. The visitor center's Discovery Room has seasonal exhibits and a few live native animals, and kids can climb the large treehouse, built from poles salvaged from the Lucin Cutoff trestle over the Great Salt Lake, or play in the Nature Nook.
