The Reserve Nature Trails keep 70-plus acres of Heath wild on purpose

The Reserve Nature Trails sit off Chris Cuny Parkway, away from the lakefront parks and the new town-center work. Heath lists more than 70 acres of City- and HMBC-owned land open for public use.

This is the quieter side of Heath's park system. You get three signed trailheads, natural stone benches, multiple trails, wildlife, and wildflowers. A trail map is posted for download.

In a small county filling in quickly, that kind of open space changes the feel of a neighborhood. The Reserve is where Heath's semi-rural character becomes something you can actually walk through.
