Nice little trail! Primarily flat ground and not very big so it was easy enough to hike the whole area with baby. Use bug spray! We got a tick bite

This is an AMAZING trail! I just walked for an hour and a half. There are still a lot of side trails that I did not explore yet. I am not a very athletic person and I believe it was an easy walk. No paved walkways which I love. The trails are pretty smooth for the most part and there is a lot to see here.

It looks decent, was only there to drop off and pick up my gfs daughter so not really sure. The parking spot is very small when theres a bunch of parents dropping off & picking up kids Fyi- also, the driveway from the main road getting to the parking lot is a one-car lane only, so be careful, a car could be coming out if youre going in. Other than that, it looks ok. :-)

Blackthorn Hill Nature Preserve is a 110 acre hidden gem on the eastern edge of Warren County. The area includes various habitats that provide food, water, space, and shelter for a diverse bird population. You may go bird watching by yourself peacefully enjoying all the nature preserve has to offer or participate in one of the bird watching events scheduled during the year.
