I have walked, driven, and shown homes in the area close to Adeline Nature Area many, many times… but never visited this lovely nature preserve before today! Instead of turning away from the DEAD END sign as I usually do as I headed onto Angelo Drive, today I turned down Adeline Lane, and was rewarded with another of Golden Valley’s many natural treasures… Adeline Nature Area!
Only a little over an acre, this small nature area is marked with a stone boulder at the southern end of the cul de sac on Adeline Lane, by Sweeney Lake. This area is scattered with many mid-century/modern homes.
I met a couple at the dock and canoe launch at the end of a boardwalk to the lake. They said they have been living in the area about a year and a half, and they consider this nature area one of Golden Valley’s best kept secrets! They were out walking their dog, and said it takes about an hour to walk your way around the lake.
