Things are
happening at the Wetlands Park! New trails, a connecting bridge, a
community park that will serve as a staging area for bikers and hikers
as well as a place for picnics and gatherings—these are all coming on
line in 2008. And in 2009, if all goes on schedule, the beautiful new
Nature Center building, housing interpretive exhibits and classrooms,
will officially open its doors.
Wetlands Park is a habitat for numerous species of wildlife and an
essential step toward cleaner water in Southern Nevada. Click here to

wildlife that have visited the Wetlands.
At the
Wetlands Information Center,
volunteers welcome visitors from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., 7 days a week.
Visitors can view Wetlands videos, displays and photographs that explain
the County’s plans for the area, the ecological and esthetic riches of
the wetlands and the serious
environmental
problems the park will help solve.
The
Wetlands Park Nature Preserve is located adjacent to the Visitor Center,
off of East Tropicana and Wetlands Park Lane. The Nature Preserve
features two miles of
concrete walking trails,
graveled secondary trails, a bird viewing blind, ponds, trail
markers, and aesthetic views of the nearby alluvial fan and mountains of
Rainbow Gardens. Additionally, primary trails are ADA accessible.
The Duck Creek Trailhead begins at Broadbent and ends at the
Wetlands Nature Preserve. It is just over ½ mile in length. Visitors can
also access the ½ mile coyote Loop and the Quail Run Loop from the main
Duck Creek Trail.
If you are
planning a visit to the
Wetlands Park, contact the Wetlands Information Center.
The staff can provide directions to the park and information that will
make your visit more enjoyable. Organizations that would like to plan a
group visit to the park should call at least one month in advance to
avoid scheduling conflicts
