Why You Should Visit
The ponds, wetlands, and wooded uplands provide habitat for a number of unusual dragonfly and damselfly species, including the rare Ringed Boghaunter. A short loop trail passes a small woodland pool, goes through black oak-white pine forest, and then rises up to a high point amid rocky outcrops and dense shrubbery.
Access to the Pond itself and its wetlands is restricted due to the sensitivity of the animals, plants and natural communities.
Hunting for deer is permitted at the Preserve. All visitors are required to wear florescent orange during the hunting season as noted below:
From September 15 – January 31 (Archery season) and November 7 to December 1, and December 26- January 2 (Muzzleloader), 200 square inches of florescent orange is required. A Hat or Vest is sufficient.
****Please note that from December 7-22 and December 26-January 2 (Shotgun) – 500 square inches of florescent orange – Hat AND Vest is required.
Dogs must be leashed.
