The Croydon Creek Nature Center is just a short distance from the vibrant downtown Rockville. The center is nestled on 120 acres of beautifully preserved forest, open meadow areas and a winding creek bustling with a variety of wildlife.

The Nature Center presents a world of discovery through interpretive exhibits, informative programs and the natural surroundings. Surrounded by miles of marked and unmarked trails that meander through
the forested park and along Croydon Creek, you are sure to enjoy your visit.

Garlic Mustard Prints by area artist, Patterson Clark, are available for sale at our gift shop. Proceeds will benefit CCNC and the Stone and Holt Weeks Foundation.
