Sawmill State Wildlife Education Area

This is a very nice little wetland hidden behind the many shopping areas near the intersection of Sawmill Place Boulevard and Bent Tree Boulevard. You’ll find it near the Andersons. Once you locate it, you’ll find a wooded area through which a boardwalk runs. There is signage talking about the life cycles of the animals, plants, and the like in the wetland area. It’s very pretty and relaxing. Parking is available onsite.
Please be aware that the wetland is not open daily to the public. You can either contact Ohio Department of Natural Resources for access, or you can visit during the one weekend per month when it is opened up by the Friends of the Sawmill Wetlands — check their Facebook page or website for details and the schedule. They frequently offer programs or other opportunities at these events — I recently attended one where several rescued owls and their handlers were on hand, which was very neat.
