The 1,168-acre Jacobsburg Environmental Education Center is just off the roadway here. It is a beautiful place for school groups to be engaged with nature activities, bird watching and community programs. There are other recreational activities there as well. The visitor center is worth a visit, and there are rest rooms too. If you don't visit, then just continue on this super pretty tree lined road.
