This new trail shelter at the Blacklick Valley Natural Area is a unique structure in honor of two very unque people. The late David and Penny Russell were the donors of the property which is now the Blacklick Valley Natural Area, one of our most diverse habitat areas in our park system. A great place to walk, hike and enjoy the beuaty of nature.
The grounds of the Buttermilk Falls Natural Area once had extensive landscaping installed by workers employed by Fred McFeely. This iris, located near a former patio area blooms each May.
This pavilion at the Buttermilk Falls Nautral Area is available frre of charge. In addition to the pavilion there is a charcoal grill (no electric). A handicapped accessible restroom is located near here. The location was a former patio area that Fred McFeely used to entertain guests to his cottage at the falls. A young Freddie Rogers (Mr. McFeely's famous grandson) also spent time here.
