Report Issue
The 106-acre preserve Nelson Woods was acquired by the Little Forks Conservancy in 2023. This preserve is largely forested, characterized by maple, oak, and beech, with groves of hemlock and pine also present. The preserve protects approximately 1900 ft. of shoreline frontage along the Tittabawassee River and offers approximately two miles of trails, including an accessible trail to a river overlook.

Note: The preserve is accessed from E. Penrod St - please drive slow, as E. Penrod St. is a residential road.
