Nature Center Trail Map
Closed for Construction
Eastman Nature Center is closed to the public for re-construction of a new 13,000-square-foot building. The future facility will feature quiet reading and observation rooms, larger classrooms, a much larger exhibit area with wildlife watching, all-new professional exhibits, an open-air deck, a small coffee service, public wi-fi signal, and an after-hours restroom. The new Eastman Nature Center is expected to open in August of 2012.
Hiking and biking trails near the nature center will remain open with a small detour for access around the closed construction zone. Bikers and hikers can park in the turf overflow lot. Please obey posted signage and follow detours.
Eastman's Programs Have Moved!
During the construction of the new nature center, look for Eastman's quality preschool programs, puppet shows and larger events at Fish Lake Regional Park. Our popular nature-based weekend programs will be offered at Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park.

In addition to providing fun and educational programs for school and other groups, Eastman Nature Center is also host to summer camps and birthday parties.
We rely on the support of volunteers to maintain the high quality programs and operations at our nature centers. If you're interested in becoming an important part of our team of volunteers, please contact us.
