This place is a gem! Beautiful sites and scenery. Nicely kept trails for walking, bikes, picnic(theres a pavillion with tables at the last building)and a great place to kayak. Unfortunately you cannot bring dogs, but its still a great place to bring your family and there is no charge or membership required for entry/parking.

Nice spot for a walk with a toddler. Not super stroller friendly so in I would recommend baby wearing or just walking (our under 2 year old child almost do the 1.5 mile Java Trail loop. Reed education center is where must park has a public bathroom with changing table. The Java Trail is mostly flat and had lots of bridges and colorful trees. It also s wings right by the water for great views of the kayaks and airplanes.

We've seen SERC from both the water and Muddy Creek road and wanted to explore it. We visited today and went for hike. Easy to get in. The security officer was super friendly and gave us a map and good directions to the Reed Education Center. We were very impressed. Lots of well marked trails, paths and terrific water views. Didn't go into the visitor center on this trip, but it looks awesome. The place is spotless. I'm going to follow up re: volunteer opportunities. We'll be back. Five stars all day long.

Very interesting find. Just a quick visit. Caution: As of today's date, the road is under serious construction. All hiking trails start at the Reed Center and visitor check-in is required. I will however return, this looks like a great place to spend time outdoors!

Great spot for a walk. Trails are well maintained. You'll walk through forests, over marshes, and stumble across secluded beaches. There is also a public dock for small boats and kayakers.

This place has changed so much. Used to be pristine & natural environment. Would take my family here all the time. Now is totally built up with guards, gates, structures, signs everywhere. No longer has the “nature” feel. SERC has also left their signage, traps, “experiments”, etc. all over the Rhode River (I am also an avid boater). Really sad to see what has happened to this place, and will no longer be visiting.
