These are, indeed, brown woods! Majestic brown woods with tall white pines that will hopefully survive a few more generations.
The wide, flat, even paths in the 28-acre city preserve do two loops through the older-growth forest, a bigger and smaller one called Main and Back Loops. According to my GPS, they’re 0.8 miles and 0.1 miles. The two loop trails were built to be wheelchair accessible. A pipeline clearing bisects the preserve.
Directions: The parking area is off Ohio Street, about 0.3 miles from the intersection with Finson Road, if you’re coming from the south, and 0.8 miles from the intersection with Davis Road if you’re driving in from the north.
