Think you have to go far from home to experience nature? You don’t. Cities and Towns are creating more green spaces every day so you don’t have to use up a tank of gas finding one.

50 Miles From Home will help you find those spaces whether you’re looking to walk in the woods in your hometown or explore in towns nearby. Want to find something particular like a type of habitat or feature such as boulder fields or a waterfall? We have that, too. Just hit the Natural Features tags in the sidebar to find your perfect surrogate backyard.
