Stride Through Nature's Palette

Join members of the Athens Conservancy for a color walk through the forest, where you can focus on finding one color, or we'll see how many wonderful shades we can find together.

This event will meet at the Baker Preserve Trailhead and take participants on a moderate hike through the Baker Preserve. To reach this trailhead from Athens, take US-50 east from US-33 5.1 miles to OH-690. Turn left on OH-690 and go 0.5 mile to the gravel parking area on the left. Carsonite signs and paint blazes guide visitors on the trails. This walk includes uneven terrain and changes in elevation.

Update (7/16/25): Due to storms in the area, this program has been cancelled. Due to storms predicted for the remainder of the week, the rescheduled date of 7/18 will not take place.
