The 1,263-acre ChesLen Preserve is the largest privately owned nature preserve open to the public in Chester County. Miles of marked hiking trails lead visitors through shady woodlands, flower-filled meadows, fields of corn and soybeans, and stream valleys. Visitors can also explore Ollie Owl’s NaturePlayGround, where young explorers can climb logs, build stick tee-pees, hunt for bugs, explore small streams, and get a little dirty, tired, and inspired. Free play is encouraged and is a great way for kids to gain an appreciation for nature. ChesLen is one of many preserves owned and cared for by non-profit conservation organization Natural Lands. As the Greater Philadelphia region’s oldest and largest land conservation organization, Natural Lands has preserved more than 125,000 acres, including 43 nature preserves totaling more than 23,000 acres. Some 2.5 million people live within five miles of land under the organization’s protection. Land for life, nature for all. natlands.org.

Visited today to explore. Beautiful, wide open, park with miles of trails. A lot of the trail we saw was through farmland but there are some wooded ones. Trails are very well maintained. We saw a few people but for for 90% of our hike we were alone. So a great place to get away from it all or socially distant. This is an amazing free park, great for kids and families, great for hikers and all nature lovers. As of 3/26/21 Restrooms and buildings were not open when we were there. And the park is closed on Thursday. . There’s a shopping center with a Walmart and fast food places about 4 miles away, so there are amenities not too terribly far away. It’s very near Longwwod Gardens, so if you’re visiting the area it offers a different kind of more natural outdoor experience as something else to add to the itinerary. It’s part of a group of other parks called Natural Lands, some of which are pretty near to Cheslen.

Wyncote and the links course in NJ called Ballyowen are the best in a 200 mile radius. Glen Mills is the other great public around here. Conditions were immaculate and the course is long and challenging the only real complaint from the group was that many of the holes looked alot alike and lacked interesting and scenic design features.

We have not been here since early last fall. They now have dinner specials Monday - Friday. Tonight was Fish Fry in addition to the regular menu. My husband had the fried seafood platter and the wedge salad. He brought most of it home because the salad was so big. I, on the other hand, was smart enough to opt for the wedge salad and the shrimp appetizer. The blue cheese dressing on the salad was excellent. The spice on the shrimp was perfect. I missed the rolls they used to serve. Heidi was our server. Ask for her. She was friendly and attentive. Did I mention the view?

I have gone twice to Sheeder Mill for a trail ride, and found both times to be amazing! I have been riding English on and off since I was a kid, and have been on many trails before. I would highly recommend Sheeder Mill. My FAVORITE part is you get a trail guide for your group. No strangers join you and you ride at the level of the most inexperienced rider. I really appreciate how they have you rate your riding ability and give you horses to match your experience; they clearly value safety. You also have the option of english or western saddle, but I prefer Western on trail for comfort. My first time I went for a 1.5 hour trial with my SO who had never ridden before. After quick pointers on basic turning we headed off. Before we hit the actual trail we made a pit stop in a small ring where the trail guide had my boyfriend practice steering the horse around some barrels and asking him to go & stop. Even though we went single file on this ride this is a great touch since it allows beginners to get an idea of how to control their horse if they try to wander off, eat etc. I did think that even though he was a dead beginner a short trot would have been easy to handle. However when we got to an open road I (being an advanced rider) was allowed to hang back and trot to catch up. I even got a short canter in! The trail guide we had was fantastic! After our lesson we were asking about places to eat in the area and she recommended this adorable small town by a creek, and mentioned they have some really nice walking trails there. When we said we would check out the trail and she even gave us both bug spray! Because of my amazing first experience I came back with my advanced rider friend. Once they saw we both could clearly ride the trail guide didn't enforce a single file rule - a first in any trail I've ever been on. This was AMAZING because my horse (I believe his name was Tristan) was the fastest of the bunch. When the guide told us we could cater, I barely had to ask he was very excited to get going! Tristan jumped into a very fast canter when he realized I wasn't holding him back. We had an amazing long hand-gallop up a hill and it was so exhilarating just to be able to let your horse go without worrying about not passing the horse in front! When the trail guide asked us to have a nice controlled canter, Tristan was extremely responsive to my aids and immediately shortened and slowed his stride without breaking out of a canter. The only drawback is that since the wooded trails are so narrow you cannot easily canter on them. Most of our cantering was done on dirt roads that cars do drive on infrequently (we only encountered a mail truck). We did encounter 3 more cars on the paved road returning to the barn. Even when riding on the "roads" the trail is very scenic and wooded with a few houses here and there. I didn't mind this too much in the end because the wooded trail you ride on is so scenic, you get to cross some creeks with your horse as well which was a first for me on trail. Overall I would highly recommend! I'm trying to find a way to get back there one day since I'm now living in NY!
