Banshee Reeks Nature Reserve: Hit the Trails

In a fast paced world, Banshee Reeks Nature Reserver invites visitors to this Leesburg nature reserve to leave their stress behind and get back to nature. The reserve sprawls over 695 acres of former farmland along The Woods Road. Visitors can enjoy over 20 miles of trails through hardwood oak and hickory forest, open fields, and alongside Goose Creek. The abundant and varied wildlife and habitats will delight nature lovers of all ages, while the 1830s log cabin and bank barn will thrill history buffs. Banshee Reeks is open to the public on weekends, though regular visitors caution that staff and volunteers are only on site two weekends each month, so first-timers should check the website before planning a trip. The site is host to many events, guided walkabouts and nature walks, wildlife watching activities, and volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Treat yourself to a few hours of quiet solitude while hiking one of Leesburg’s most beautiful open spaces!
