Bean Blossom Bottoms Nature Preserve
Head a few miles north of Bloomington for a scenic 2.5-mile trail featuring a mile and a half of elevated boardwalk through this magical wetland preserve. Despite its comparatively short trail system, the uniqueness of well-maintained boards bending and sloshing under your feet combined with bustling bird activity and stunning wetland photo ops makes this destination well worth the trip.
Volunteering allows you to escape your normal routine while helping others. Reach out to a favorite charity or neighbor to lend a hand. Even picking up trash when you are out walking helps you stay mentally and physically healthy.
