Park Description
LaBoiteaux Woods is the jewel in an emerald crown of hundreds of acres of greenspace hills, valleys and wildlife corridor on the west side of Cincinnati, Ohio. This enchanting mixed mesophitic woodland is habitat to an interesting diversity of wildlife, which includes white-tailed deer, red and gray fox, raccoon, opossum, mink, sharp-shinned hawk, barred owl and eastern box turtle. Native wildflowers are a part of this natural community and color its landscape intensely in spring, summer and fall.
Serene and hospitable, rich in ecology and geological and human history, the preserve offers the visitor an easy escape from the pressures of the bustling city as well as valuable insights into the workings of nature, the historical aspects of the land. Four miles of hiking trails crisscross the preserve and ultimately wind down to its creek, past magnificent hardwoods.
A rustic nature center houses nature displays, animal mounts, live animals, and a small nature library. Experienced naturalists provide creative and enlightening nature programs. Focal to these programs is a guided nature interpretive walk through the preserve. Programs provide the public with a deeper understanding of ecology and a more profound sense of the area’s history.
