E. E. Wilson Wildlife Area

E. E. Wilson Wildlife Area is a protected space containing brushland, riparian woods, wetlands, and an extensive network of trails. These paths connect different habitats throughout the grounds and allow visitors to explore multiple environments.

The site was once Camp Adair, a major military training base during World War II. After the war ended, the land was converted into a protected natural area.

A memorial garden on the grounds honors four military divisions trained at Camp Adair during World War II. The site blends this military past with present-day conservation efforts.

Access requires a parking permit and the area remains open from 4 AM to 10 PM daily. The flat, level paths make movement through the grounds easy for most visitors.

The former Camp Adair street grid remains visible and creates a continuous network of level paths. This layout makes it particularly well-suited for cycling while watching birds.
