Outdoors: Maplewood Nature Preserve

Wetland Click to Enlarge Trail Click to Enlarge Introduction Maplewood Nature Preserve is an ACRES property adjacent to a County park. The ACRES portion lies to the east, and the southern end of that property is home to tall oaks. The county-owned portion is to the west; large maples tower over the ground north and east of the nature center. Great Solomon's seal grows near the county preserve entrance. Trails A trail system encompasses both properties. The trails are well-maintained and obvious, though the color-coded markings are somewhat sporadic. You'll encounter several small wetlands and (during spring, at least) wildflowers and birds, including lots of trillium, and warblers calling from above. Facilities Nature Center with bathrooms, water. Directions View Larger Map Lagrange County.
