Wells Trailhead

Wells Trailhead is a free entry point into Clark County Wetlands Park, located at 1720 E Galleria Dr in Henderson, zip code 89011. It is open year round and geared toward kids and teens ages 5 to 18, with age brackets on file for 5 to 12 and 13 to 18.

Families can hike, bike, explore natural terrain, and watch wildlife along the trails here. On site amenities include marked trails, parking, restrooms, and interpretive signage that explains the plants, animals, and habitat along the route, which turns a walk into something closer to a self-guided nature lesson for kids.

The trailhead is listed as special needs friendly, with accessible trails and a sensory-friendly environment noted specifically. That combination makes it a reasonable option for families who need step-free or wheelchair-accessible paths, or for kids who do better outdoors than in an enclosed, noisy indoor activity.

No phone number is on file for this location, and hours of operation have not been confirmed beyond the year-round operating season, so families planning a visit around sunrise, sunset, or seasonal daylight changes should check the Clark County Wetlands Park trail page directly before heading out.

Because admission is free and the trails are outdoors, this is an easy option to combine with other stops in Henderson on the same day, or to use as a low-cost regular outing rather than a one-time special trip. The interpretive signage also means a parent does not need to bring along their own nature guide or app to give kids some educational context while walking.

Wells Trailhead falls under the Recreation and Attractions category, in the Nature Centers subcategory, which fits its role as an outdoor entry point rather than a staffed facility with programmed classes. The combination of hiking, biking, nature exploration, and wildlife viewing means a single visit can be as short as a quick walk or as long as a full afternoon outing, depending on how far a family wants to go along the trail system.
