Seward Park
Seward Park, located only five miles from the downtown urban core, occupies a 277-acre peninsula sculpted by glaciers and composed of a range of habitats that include forests, savannas, grasslands, and lakeshore. It features a remarkable stand of old-growth forest, two active bald eagle nests, and a wide array of flora and fauna.
