Andy's Wildlife Park encompasses 170 acres of wetlands, tidal estuary and a forest just south of Sandberg Road and west of Eckenstam-Johnson Road. There is an extensive trail system for hikers that is best utilized in the summer months due to wet conditions. The 2-mile looped nature trail begins and ends at a parking lot on Eckenstam-Johnson Road and includes two small bridges. There is a picnic area with at table on the bank of Schoolhouse Creek near the parking area. There is also a portable toilet at the trailhead.
Included in the Wildlife Park is a fenced, off-leash dog park, approximately 1-acre in size located within the park on Sandberg Road.
This park is intended to be a wildlife habitat. In order for visitors and wildlife some rules must be observed. These rules are posted at the trailhead and include the following:
- No dogs are allowed, on leash or otherwise except in the off-leash dog area and ADA assist dogs.
- No horses, bicycles, or motorized vehicles are allowed.
- Trash must be removed and a "Pack-it-in / Pack it out" policy must be observed.
- Consumption of alcohol and use of illegal drugs is prohibited.
- Discharge of fire arms, bow and arrows and hunting is not permitted.
A donation from Delbert and Janice Deweyert allows us to connect the loop trail within Andy's Wildlife Park to Andrew Anderson Marine Park. This trail is currently under construction and may be traversed with caution. The trail is easily located about 100 yards south of the trailhead for Andy's Marine Park on Claussen Road and is on the east side of Claussen Road.
