Trails and Grounds

Open year round for self-guided walking and hiking adventures. Dogs are welcome on all trails outside of the Birds’ Part of the Sanctuary.

The Sanctuary Main Entrance, off Highway 3/High Street eventually will be gated, with the gates open from 9 am to 5 pm daily. Gates will close promptly at 5 pm and remain so until the following day. Birdsacre’s trails also can be accessed from the South Trails Entrance off Deerfield Road sunrise to sunset.

The Birds’ Part of the Sanctuary is open from 9 am to 5 pm and is designated as a quiet area and dog-free zone for the comfort of our Avian Ambassadors. Thank you for respecting their needs.
