Heritage Trails Park District invites you to explore the Dr. Elizabeth Yahl-Kuffner Nature Preserve for a spring wildflower hike!
Enjoy a self-guided hike along the wooded trails of this unique nature preserve, where numerous species of Ohio’s native wildflowers can be found, including the official State Wildflower of Ohio, the Large-flowered Trillium. Signage will be located along the trail to help you identify wildflowers first-hand and learn fun facts about each species.
Pick a day & time that works for you, hike at your own pace, learn as you go along, and spend some quality time outdoors!
The Dr. Elizabeth Yahl-Kuffner Nature Preserve is located at: 14840 County Road 66A, just north of St. Marys. Interpretive signage will be up from April 28 – May 12, but we invite you to experience the wildflowers at the preserve any week this spring, as they are ever-changing through the season. The hiking paths at Dr. Elizabeth Yahl-Kuffner Nature Preserve are a flat, level terrain, but be sure to wear proper footwear as the trails do get muddy in the spring!
We also ask that you please:
-Stay on the trail. Doing so protects this precious wildflower habitat!
-Please do not pick the wildflowers. Take nothing, leave nothing. Please carry in & carry out all trash.
-Share your photos and wildflower hike experience with us on Facebook @HeritageTrailsParkDistrict or email us at info@htparks.org.
Invite your friends & family on a wildflower hike & enjoy some springtime with Heritage Trails Park District!
