Lookout Mountain Nature Center creates awareness, understanding, and conservation of Jefferson County's open spaces through year-round educational programs and exhibits. LMNC offers something for everyone, toddlers to seniors, individuals, families and groups. Explore interactive exhibits that reveal some of nature's secrets. Search the facility for recycled, reused and earth-friendly building materials. Browse nature books, gifts and toys. Join a Naturalist-guided activity to learn about your favorite nature subject, or schedule a Group Program. Stroll the self-guided nature trail and search for wildlife or the clues they leave behind. Lookout Mountain Nature Center is far more than a building. It is a 110-acre park with trails winding through towering ponderosa pines and montane meadows. It is wildlife habitat, home to Abert's squirrels, deer, songbirds and more. It is a place which encourages discovery of and learning about Jefferson County's natural treasures. From the Nature Center, you can travel trail links to Apex and Windy Saddle Open Space Parks, the Beaver Brook Trail, and Buffalo Bill's Museum and Grave.
