The Nature Center at McCormick's Creek State Park, designed on the 'Please Touch - Gently' theme, houses natural history exhibits, nature games and quizzes, a wildlife observation room, and a full range of naturalist-led activities available free of charge to park visitors. A self-guiding nature trail lies just behind the Nature Center.

Interpretive naturalist services are available year-round and are headquartered in the Nature Center (unless otherwise noted). Scheduled programs include hikes, history talks, live animal presentations, workshops, and system-wide patch programs. Special groups wishing programs just for their group should contact the Nature Center in advance.
