Located just outside the town of Yellow Springs, the Glen Helen Nature Preserve is a 1,000-acre piece of land that has been a National Natural Landmark since 1965. There are more than 20 miles of trails in the park, which visitors can explore from dawn to dusk 365 days a year. Points of interest that can be accessed via the trail system include limestone cliffs, waterfalls, and a Hopewell Indian mound. Guided hikes are sometimes offered, and visitors wishing to hike alone can obtain a trail map from the Trailside Museum in exchange for a small donation.
