Blanchard River Nature Preserve

Blanchard River Nature Preserve

22006 C.R. 17, Forest

Blanchard River Nature Preserve is an undeveloped natural area. It includes 7,200 linear feet of Blanchard River channel, over 50 acres of wooded riparian floodplain, and riparian oxbow wetlands and vernal pools that provide excellent, high-quality aquatic and terrestrial habitat. With a strong emphasis on environmental preservation, visitation is limited to hiking, birdwatching, and photography along a quiet walkway to the river’s edge, and canoeing and kayaking via a primitive river access site. Blanchard River Nature Preserve provides a quiet country setting and scenic start for the 37.6-mile Blanchard River Water Trail.

Features:

  • Unimproved parking lot
  • Seasonal restroom
  • Quiet walkway
  • Access to the Blanchard River
  • Water Trail
