Visitors begin their journey in the El Dorado Nature Center by crossing a short bridge to reach a tiny island, where they can enter the Visitor Center and Museum. Here, outdoor enthusiasts of all ages can view maps to plot their course through the Center’s trails, pick up a bird spotting checklist, purchase environmentally-themed souvenirs from the gift shop, and engage with or listen to a number of interactive exhibits that educate guests about the wildlife that can be found throughout the park and surrounding region. Not to be missed, the museum’s gallery regularly displays nature photography and artwork created by local artists.
