Lockington Reserve
The Lockington Reserve is a 200-acre tract featuring a remarkable variety of natural landscapes. Within its boundaries, one can find flood plain forest and upland woods, 90-foot high bluff, pine groves, marsh areas, streams and ponds. This natural area remains undeveloped because of its role as a dry storage basin for floodwaters periodically backing up behind the Lockington Dam. In a spirit of cooperation, the Miami Conservancy District leases the Reserve without charge to the Park District. To help you enjoy the natural beauty of the Reserve, a network of walking trails connect the various habitats. Among these settings are opportunities for picnicking, primitive camping, fishing, nature interpretation, photography, hiking, jogging, school outings, group meetings, informal field sports, and cross country skiing. A portion of the Buckeye Trail travels through the Reserve. A small shelter house and restrooms are also available. To schedule the Reserve for a family reunion, office picnic, camping or other event, contact the Park District office at 937-497-7171 (for local callers) or 937-773-4818.
