1200+ acres with lots of wildlife. Several Ohio Endangered species including the Northern Copper-bellied Water Snake and the Blue Spotted Salamander. Good sized flock of wild turkeys. Mixed hardwood forest on glacial drift. Good bass fishing. Large state wildlife area immediately to South. Good location for astronomy with very little light interference.
