Our Preserves

Little River Landing is a 53-acre preserve located near the confluence of the Little River and the Wabash River in Huntington, Indiana. Most of the preserve lies between the two rivers while the remainder is across the Little River on its west bank (see map). The preserve is jointly owned by LRWP and ACRES Land Trust.

At 831 acres, Eagle Marsh is the largest nature preserve in Allen County. Hikers can access the preserve’s varied habitats of shallow-water wetland, sedge meadow, prairie, mature forest and young trees through a 14-mile network of trails. More than 250 kinds of birds and numerous other wild creatures have been seen at Eagle Marsh, including 28 bird and 2 amphibian species endangered or of special concern in Indiana.

Arrowhead Marsh spans 97 acres and features nearly two miles of nature trails that wind through marsh, native tallgrass prairie and mature woods. Beautiful wildflowers can be seen the spring summer and fall. The marsh is home to grassland birds, ducks and other water birds, amphibians, and mammals, such as fox, mink and deer. 

Arrowhead Prairie is located on 158 acres of land that’s been restored to prairie, wetland and woods. An educational garden features native grasses, sedges and wildflowers found in the Arrowhead preserves. Hikers can take a half-mile trail through tallgrass prairie or take two other trails that span three miles through the preserve.

Buttonbush Bottoms is a 25-acre restored wetland.  The preserve was named for buttonbush, a native wetland shrub found there. “Bottoms” describes low-lying land along a waterway. Buttonbush Bottoms land was donated by Denyel Bond and her mother, Patricia Hulse, late in 2014.

We add to our preserves as land becomes available. If you are interested in making a land donation please contact Cammy Sutter at 260-478-2515.
