John A. Wannemacher Nature Reserve is located on reclaimed agricultural land and serves as a perfect habitat for wildlife amidst the surrounding farmland and residential developments.
The wetland area attracts a large variety of water fowl making it the perfect place for bird watching.
With the creation of this beautiful park, the surrounding residential communities have been provided with green space and a place for passive leisure activities. It has also had a positive impact on area water quality by reducing storm water run off which decreases pollution.
The 1.6 mile nature trail leads you through open grassland, over Boone Creek and past a beautiful woodland and wetland area. This park is the perfect setting for hiking, running and wildlife viewing.
This park is named after 2012 OPRA Citizen of the Year, John A. Wannemacher, in honor of his dedication and service to the Park District as both an advocate and Miami County Park District Board member for over 35 years, most of those years as president.
