  Effie Yeaw Nature Center has lots of exhibits concerning the valley ecosystem. In addition, it is the trailhead for several hours of self guided tour and walks along the river.

  You will see deer, wild turkeys, rabbits, hawks, vultures, and woodpeckers going about their daily business on a typical walk through the riparian woodland park behind the Effie Yeaw Nature Center. The wildlife seem to know they are protected and they wander freely around the trails, grazing and foraging. Kids love it! Several "rescue" animals live at the center and if you are lucky you may get to touch one. Watch for special programs on wildlife and the environment.

  We live in the area and have been bringing our family here for years. It is located in Ancil Hoffman Park. There is a small educational center with live animals and a rotating educational exhibit. But the highlight is the hiking trails. There are lots of trail signs that tell about the various native plants and wildlife. We often see deer and wild turkeys roaming around. The trails are well maintained and easy to navigate. There is no charge for the center or trails but they do charge a fee to enter Ancil Hoffman Park.

  Great trails. Good picnic ground. Interesting hands on exhibits for children. It is free, but you have to pay a fee to enter the county park where it is located.

  On a recent trip to California my friend and I visited Effie Yeaw Center...it was a hot day but we enjoyed visiting the nature center, walking the trails, and we enjoyed dipping our toes in the river! Lots of wildlife, deer, turkeys, hawks,...it was a pleasure!

  We have been to Effie Yeaw so many times. We are never disappointed at the creatures we see there: Turkeys, deer and lots of birds. The area isn't huge, but it contains so many different habitats. You have the American River area, the riparian forest, the pond area and the open plain area. It's a great place to bird watch and you might see some rarities. The nature center has some great exhibits, books for sale and even some live birds and snakes that are injured and could not survive in the wild. Check this place out!

  Very small nature center on the American river. They help injured animals so their collection can change. The staff is very friendly and the kids can run around and enjoy the interactive exhibits.

  I have taken my 18 month old grandson there several times. I have taken my two young neighbor children there. Hands on activities, live animals, stuffed animals shown in their habitat. Safe and fun place to learn and explore. The trails leading to the river are also fun to travel.

  Many trails that weave through the woods and ultimately take you down to the American River where you can enjoy nature with very few people around. Trails at the Nature Center are for walkers only, which is refreshing because there are no bikers to contend with. Go in the springtime to see male turkeys strutting their stuff in full-feathered regalia, lots of deer and birds, wildflowers everywhere. Parking is free. Carmichael's best kept secret!
