Barnes Preserve

Nice place for a quick walk, abundant variety of birds. Nice little pond.

Easy walking for all levels, lovely trees, flowers, birds, amphibians and more! A nice picnic pavilion is ready for your picnic.

Beautiful prairie and woods to walk through on a flat and wide walk way. Its well maintained and great for all ages.

This is a lovely trail with various natural areas and habitats - woods, pond and open field. A paved trail goes throughout the preserve for easy walking or riding in a wheelchair. There are also several other primitive trails. Its also a fairly quiet path, with limited people (until more positive reviews are posted and more people discover this gem! ).

Love this place, close to our house, flat paved trails in the woods, great place to exercise and experience nature

Great paths, lots of chances to see animals in their natural habitat. The frog pond is really cool

ADA trails with awesome scenery and some other paths for someone looking for more of a challenge. Pond with ADA ramp, pavilion, and non-ADA access pond

Great place to take a walk

Paved paths with the option of dirt trails as well. Beautiful pavillion with a charcoal grill available. Porta pots on site.

A paved trail about a mile long. There is a nice picnic pavilion at the entrance.

Great flat paved walking path. Perfect for young kids trying to learn to ride a bike.

Great place for a walk. Wheelchair accessible. Go to the main entrance. The picnic area is also Wheelchair accessible.

A great place to go for a short walk. Great scenery. Very clean. Some nice wildlife. Dogs and bikes are welcome.

This is small to medium sized nature preserve, with a paved, ADA compliant walking trail. The trail is half wooded, with many hickory and oak species, among others, and half meadow. Wild flowers are abundant throughout spring, summer and fall, and attract a wide variety of moths and butterflies. A small shallow pond, with wooden deck overlook, is home a several species of frogs, turtles and snakes.

Very nice and interesting place to go. Easy walking trails.

Okay, this year was the first time we attended the Halloween event, and we were impressed!! We loved how enthusiastic the pirate volunteers/workers were. The decorating and knocking on the doors was a cute touch, and I could tell it made the kids very happy. My son had a blast walking around and seeing the different doors. But our absolute favorite parts of the trail were the nature stops! I love that they incorporated nature and education. Great event, very organized and will continue to support it!

Easy walk. Paved with little to no incline

Nice easy to walk paths. Short but decent views, everythings a cement walkway until you get to the path to the pond.

Great recourse we have locally

Easy, fun walk. Lots of birds and frogs

Very nice walking good birding area.

Beautiful and well maintained!

Nice clean place to have a walk.

My favorite place to walk. Asphalt trail is very nice. Thanks to all of the volunteers for all that you do to keep it looking so beautiful and thanks to those that donate. If youve not been here dont miss out... nice for lunch time walkers

Tbis is a great place to walk it has lots of plants and trees and the walking path is paved so I would suggest tennis shoes. This is a great place to take a walk any season. They have pavilions so you can take a break and eat lunch in the covered pavilion. This is also a nice place to take the family for a walk. Dogs are permitted they just ask that you clean up after it. It is free to come walk here. There is a wetland pond with a deck looking over the wetland pond. There are also benches to take a rest along your walk.

One of my favorite places to enjoy nature

Beautiful place to enjoy nature! Flat, paved walking trails perfect for anyone! Handicapped access to the woods, the meadow or the observation deck that over looks the pond! Truly a treasure of Wayne County!

Well maintained. Dog friendly. Family friendly.

This is one of Wooster’s best paved walking areas, highly accessible and the path is kept clear through out the Year. For those with wheels, this place is fantastic. Can get wet/icy at some points depending on weather. Rarely more than 3 other people there. I love to take my dog there and longboard around it a few times, my dog loves it. Beautiful and serene, a mowed/off-trail path as well. A+!

Really enjoy walking their paved pathways

Nice easy stroll through the woods great for family

It is absolutely beautiful. I would recommend anyone to go there and enjoy the adventure of the wilderness. And is also handicap accessible and has a beautiful Pavilion.

Great place to walk. Always something interesting to see. ADA paved trail makes it available to all.

Beautiful spot for nature portraits

Family loved it!!

This is a nice walking trail, 0.9 miles, you can take the kids and they wont get tired out

Lovely nature area with a short & long loop paved path that is wheelchair accessible. I noticed they now have a little wood train now, as well. Portapotty by the parking lot. Limited parking, but never usually a problem finding a spot. The location is a little remote, so its wise to take a buddy.

Its beautiful out there and a peaceful retreat from stress

Nice place for a walk. A paved path with a long loop and a short loop.

Nice to walk around - would be great to run or bike a few loops. Not much to see though overall. Its a Monarch butterfly preserve, which is cool.

What a lovely treasure! I have driven by countless times without even knowing it was here! Well maintained walking path and several picnic tables, wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

Natural setting with nice wide walking paths. Plenty of space to sit a spell or take landscape pictures. Im looking forward to watching the plants grow up in some empty spaces over the years.

Probably the best nature trail to walk in Wooster. Quiet and never crowded. Great paved trails through the woods and Meadows. Plenty of benches to stop and take breaks too.

Well keep trails through tall trees and meadows

Peaceful

Just perfect

Nice trail for the youngest and oldest.

Such a peaceful place

Great walking place, peaceful and quite! Easy trail to walk.

Very nice park facility for walking. Just there and I will return in warmer weather.

Beautiful place to walk, bike, and run. Great handicapped trail. Enjoy walking my dogs there.

Beautiful Nature!

Great place to walk. Paved ADA accessible trail. Observation deck at small pond. Mix of field and woods.

Nice walking path! The path is wide and smooth, but only about .9 miles long.

Wonderful place to walk

Wonderful experience if you are looking for a nice, peaceful walk or bike ride through a pristine, natural outdoor setting right here in Wayne county!
