Wesselman Woods

You’ll find nature, places for kids to run around and play, and the oldest trees in Indiana. There is a nature center with educational exhibits and hands on learning for kids. There are lookouts on the water with fish and turtles to observe. The trails are easy and shaded in lush greenery.

The staff was amazing and the park was beautiful and easy to navigate especially because I'm not very stable on my feet at times

Beautiful area. Great trails, nature center is very nice and has lots of information. The contrast is stark between being in the woods and having the city surrounding you. The trees are amazing, and the bird life is abundant. Highly recommend seeing this very unique place.

A real treasure here on the east side of Evansville! A great place to walk in nature. The trails are nicely maintained year round.

I’ve been a fan of Wesselman Woods my entire life and it has never disappointed me. The remodel and Tree House are so cool! It really was an excellent choice and adds so much educational value in such a fun way! I’m so glad these woods exist- now my daughter can enjoy the Woods and learn to love it as much as I do.

The nature center and nature preserve are beautiful. Admission is reasonable and the staff are friendly. The grounds are maintained as natural woods and they’re quiet and lush with growth. The walking trails are clearly marked and kept clean and walkable.

Excellent Park for Outdoor Dog Events! We were there this weekend for a Fast Cat event with the Evansville Agility Club. Coming all the way from Cape Girardeau, Missouri we found the park very easily. The dog run was in the perfect location -- very flat and nice mowing job done on it and the path to walk to the fenced area. (The Bathrooms however... needed some attention. A little blue bowl cleaner and a bowl scrub brush and an attendant for all the trash would have been an easy fix) Other than that, it was a nice facility.
