Glennstone Nature Preserve is an 83-acre nature park in the Glennstone subdivision in northeast Durham. The preserve protects lands surrounding lower Ellerbe Creek. In 2002, Ellerbe Creek Watershed Association worked with developers to build a conservation subdivision, where land is protected in exchange for an increased housing density. Ellerbe Creek Watershed Association manages the trails and works to restore wildlife habitat in the preserve. There are several miles of trails for hiking. Street parking is available on Glennstone in front of the gazebo.
