Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve

Today we visited the Creasey Mahan Nature preserve in Goshen, Kentucky.  It was a little under 15 mins north of Crestwood.  The Preserve was BEAUTIFUL and all the trails were clearly marked and easy to follow.

Trailhead at Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve in Goshen, Kentucky

We ended up going about 1.5miles today, which took us an hour and a half all together, because we stopped and looked at every bug and butterfly along the way.


Among the animals we saw a white butterfly, turtles, frogs, dragonflies, a deer, squirrels and birds






Our most excited wildlife experience was here at the frog pond, where there were turtles and frogs everywhere!







Where we saw the deer

A cool old bridge


A "porcupine" lives in here... I think it was some type of fungus?

Water break!


Tons of tadpoles turning into frogs- TONS!



Ben called these turtles brave because they didn't jump in when we got close

A great day!  Although I caught Ike at a grump moment :)
