No, they are not permitted unless a service animal. Pets in state nature preserves can introduce disease; spread invasive species; distract and disturb wildlife; and interfere with scientific research conducted in the preserves. Leaving pets at home when visiting state nature preserves helps protect these delicate ecosystems.
Brandy is correct! This is a State Nature Preserve, governed by Ohio Department of Natural Resources, and their rules may be different than what you are accustomed to with the Metro Parks. This preserve in particular is a wonderful example of Silver Maple Swamp area; something that is hard to find now in central Ohio. So although there are walking trails, please stay on the trails, and don't bring pets.
Yes.
