Equestrian

Equestrian recreational opportunities are offered at Vickers Nature Preserve in Ellsworth Township. This 262-acre preserve, acquired in 1993, is located on Akron-Canfield Road (Route 224). Vickers Nature Preserve consists of diverse habitats, including meadows, woodlands, wetlands, and ponds. There are also several small streams flowing through the Preserve that flow directly into Meander Creek just upstream of the Meander Reservoir. By preserving these stream habitats, Vickers Nature Preserve helps protect the drinking water resources relied on by nearly 220,000 Trumbull and Mahoning County residents.

An adequately sized parking lot allows park users to access the site for recreational and educational purposes. Hiking is permitted throughout the site, as is access to the free-use equestrian trails. Hiking is permitted; parking available at this facility, and there is a port-a-john on site.
