Sawmill State Wildlife Education Area

Very nice boardwalk over wetland area. It has a large parking area but no amenities. On the Bent Tree Blvd. side there are a couple of short trails where they are planting trees.

Great small natural area in the middle of the city. This bit of land is hugely important to the local ecosystem, and its a fun place to walk around to see many native and common ohio plants. (Come with long pants, to protect against poison ivy and mosquitoes, this IS a natural area after all 😜)

A lovely place to birdwatch and take a stroll on the boardwalk and short trail. There are lots of posts throughout that have information on the trees and plants in the area. And some other posts educating on Wetlands and Vernal Pools. There is a pollinator garden out front. Lots of bird houses and some bird feeders next to the parking lot and on the boardwalk. There are benches throughout the boardwalk. Parking lot is quite large. No restroom. It is very lush in the Summer and early Fall, but still completely beautiful at the start of Spring.

Great restful park in the middle of development. See butterflies and mushrooms!! This park is so very different at different seasons of the year. I am updating my review to add a panorama of the wetlands after a big rain. You can always spot Wildlife at this park. The volunteers have added some very nice benches all over the place so you can sit and soak it all in. The volunteers do a great job of taking care of this park and I really appreciate it.

Absolutely stunning little gem with amazing biodiversity.

I got to see several native flowers that were "firsts" for me here in just a short walk. Pictured is a Jack in the Pulpit! I've never seen one of these in the wild before. :)

Walk is short, but the plants are worth seeing.

No restrooms or facilities.

Totally a hidden gem. Beautiful wild flowers, ducks, and deer if you're lucky. Insects, birds, invertebrates, and lots of plaques explaining the various trees and flowers. Great for a quick walk, lunch break, or just a minute to clear your head.

Small nature preserve with easily accessible boardwalk paths. Definitely a bit of a hidden gem. Boardwalks over vernal pools with plenty of wildlife (ducks, small mammals, invertebrates, and if you're lucky, salamanders) in the spring, and will be well worth coming back later in the summer to see after the pools dry.

Beautiful wetlands offer a great little getaway in the middle of suburban plunder.

Very small, but a nice little oasis amid shopping centers and apartment complexes. I go here on lunch break sometimes, a good little patch of woods to relax in.

This vibrant wetland preserve is an oasis of nature in northwest Columbus. It has a lovely perennial pollinator garden and boardwalks to visit the wetlands without disturbing the natural area.

Awesome gem in the middle of suburbia. It's an out and back type stroll but worth the break from the hustle and bustle.

Small and surrounded by shops and businesses, but beautiful little stretch of nature. Great for birdwatching!

Beautiful woods. Not all that big, bit a good little area. Didn't see anyone only a deer and birds.

It's a great little green space. 17acres,with boardwalk paths. I'm happy it was saved from development.

It's extremely disappointing that the owner is trying to sell this land. It's one of the few quiet/peaceful places left in the area and it will soon be cleared out for commercial properties.

Very calm and quiet place to walk and watch some birds, enjoy nature.

Small, quiet place that's kept very natural. Excellent for lunchtime birdwatching.

Nice little nature escape. Took about 10 minutes to walk down all the paths.

Can't wait to have this place open to the public again. It has been closed too long.

Lovely quick walk after a meal. Watch for poison ivy.
