Withrow Nature Preserve

Yesterday - The Blizzard of '08 - today a beautiful sunny day perfect for a walk in the woods.

So back to Withrow Nature Preserve, 0.9 miles from 5 mile road and I275 (exit 69)

There are several trail heads from the parking lot. Standing facing the house from the parking lot, there is a trail head behind the house at about 12 O'Clock. There is one at about 9 O'Clock and there is one at about 6 O'Clock (next to the port-o-potties).

We chose to enter at 9 O'Clock today, on entering there is a fork which goes over the bridge to the left which we took. Following this around, you pass the 6 O'Clock trail head on the left leading back to the parking lot. Soon you will come to another fork. To the left takes you to the field and to the right takes you to the Ohio River Overlook. It loops around through the woods, out to the field and right back to this spot.

Here is the view from the field:

We logged 4472 steps on the pedometer in about 50 minutes. We estimate this to be about 2 miles. The pedometer is a very rough estimate in hiking, our steps were smaller today because of the snow.
