Outdoors: Baltzell-Lenhart Woods Nature Preserve

Baltzell-Lenhart Click to Enlarge Introduction Baltzell-Lenhart Woods Nature Preserve is a 37-acre preserve that contains mature oak-hickory woods, along with wetter areas that host species better adapted to moist conditions. Though the preserve seems a likely candidate for one, there is no formal trail here. Instead, a faint tread begins at the parking area and heads south into the preserve, soon fading into indistinct deer paths. The understory is somewhat thick during the summer, and poison ivy is common. Mosquitoes can also be fantastically abundant, doubtless breeding in the wetter areas toward the south end of the property. Spring visitors can expect to see prairie trillium and May apple, grading to wild geranium, phlox and abundant false Solomon's seal as the year progresses. Trails None. Facilities None.
