Heritage Trails Park District invites you to explore the Dr. Elizabeth Yahl Kuffner Nature Preserve for a tree I.D. hike!
Beginning October 1st, bring a friend & celebrate the autumn season by enjoying a self-guided hike along the wooded trails of this unique nature preserve, where numerous species of Ohio’s native trees can be found. Experience a walk through a grove of Paw Paw trees, spot examples of Ohio’s official state tree, the Ohio Buckeye, and observe the countless colors of autumn’s beauty. Interpretive signage will be located along the trail to help you identify tree species first-hand, and will remain in place thru the entire month of October. A new boardwalk trail has been installed to enhance accessibility for all hikers. New benches, trail signage and an informational kiosk are also in place. Hike at your own pace, learn as you go along, and spend some quality time outdoors!
Kuffner Nature Preserve is located at: 14840 County Road 66A, just north of St. Marys, Ohio. The park is open daily from dawn to dusk.

We also ask that you please:
-Stay on the trail. Doing so protects this precious wildlife habitat!
-Take nothing, leave nothing. Please carry out all trash.
-Pets on a leash are welcome, but please clean up after your pet.
-Share your photos and tree hike experience with us on Facebook @HeritageTrailsParkDistrict or email us at info@htparks.org.
Get outdoors & celebrate the fall season with Heritage Trails Park District!
