This 84-acre site is a bur oak savanna remnant that features mesic woodland areas, wet depressions and open sedge meadows. Many majestic bur oak trees found here are several hundred years old, spreading as wide as they are tall, as is typical of open-grown trees. In spring, one can encounter many species of Violets, Wild Geranium and the delicate flowers of Spicebush. The Blue-Spotted Salamander, a species of special concern in Indiana, has been sighted here, and typical woodland birds, such as the Northern Flicker, Eastern Wood Peewee and Northern Cardinal call this site home.

Please note this preserve is closed between October 1 and January 4.
