Tam O'Shanter Park

Winding Trail through trees and high grassThe former golf course has been transforming to a natural state and park since 2018. Restoration has included planting of trees, wildflowers, warm season grasses, and wetland plugs.  Parking lots and driveway reconfigurations along with a restroom project have also occurred. 

The park is open daily for hiking and nature and wildlife viewing along the 3 miles of mainly natural surface trails with some former cart path and limestone surfaces. 

Catch and release fishing is available at the pond next to the main entrance and parking area.  Catfish, bass, bluegill, and crappie have been stocked in the pond.
