Glen Helen Nature Preserve

Glen Helen is a 1,000-acre nature preserve of woods, waterways, prairies, and fields, laced with 25 miles of trails.

Glen Helen is the legacy of alumnus Hugh Taylor Birch, who, in 1929, donated the wooded glen to Antioch College in memory of his daughter, Helen. In September, 2020, The Glen Helen Association completed its purchase of Glen Helen, which now encompasses 1000 acres, all accessible from a 20-mile network of footpaths.
