Reflection Walks

Reflection Walks at Pathways Retreat are located along the 0.6 mile main trail loop through the woods. These are self-paced, free, and require no reservation. Simply stop by anytime during daylight hours to enjoy a time of reflection in creation. After you've completed the walk, take time to enjoy more of our two-miles of trails through woods and prairies. All are welcome!
