About the Asherwood Nature Preserve - ACRES Land Trust
Asherwood Nature Preserve, managed by ACRES Land Trust, is a beautiful park located in Wabash, Indiana. The preserve features a variety of trails that wind through wooded areas, deep ravines, wetlands, and ponds. Visitors can explore paved trails, wide flat earthen trails, and narrow winding trails that climb steep grades. In the spring, the ground is covered with vibrant wildflowers such as Mayapple, wild geranium, blue-eyed Mary, and Dutchman’s breeches.
One of the highlights of Asherwood is the dense stand of towering sugar maples known as a “sugar bush.” During February, visitors may see old-fashioned metal buckets hanging on trees collecting sap, which is then boiled down in the property’s historic sugar shack to make fresh maple syrup at the end of winter.
ACRES Land Trust has a management lease with Marion Community Schools and will acquire ownership of the preserve in 2024. ACRES Land Trust is a nonprofit organization supported by over 2,000 members dedicated to protecting natural and working lands in northeast Indiana, southern Michigan, and northwest Ohio. The preserve offers free public access to its trail systems, open daily from dawn to dusk. Visit Asherwood Nature Preserve to enjoy the beauty of nature and support conservation efforts in the region.

Reviews of Asherwood Nature Preserve - ACRES Land Trust
"Very beautiful and peaceful, I was able to enjoy nature and all that God has created. One word to say perfect."
"Beautiful spring walk through Asherwood Nature Preserve on the deer trail. Undergrowth is popping and trees are budding. Towering, mature trees are throughout the forest. ACRES Land Trust does wonderful work."
"Absolutely beautiful! In mid-October the woods were almost entirely yellow. There are a few hills that may be difficult if you have bad knees but I think the average walker would have little difficulty on the trail. Depending on the trail you take (they're all intertwined, like horseshoes off the main Tulip Trail) there are a couple bridges over the little creek and some paths right on the edge of a hill with no railing (I wouldn't recommend taking small kids). I saw only 4 other people in the 3 hrs I was there (it's only 2.4 miles total - I just stopped for a lot of photos!). There are areas you can sit that would be nice for group activities (by the parking lot & there was one spot that had a little podium and a few rows of benches). There is an environmental science center that I'm assuming is for student visits. I met the caretaker who lives on site. It is well taken care of and I will be back!"
"A really nice woodland walk, with intersections on a stream that were great for giving my dog a place to drink water. Definitely on the primitive side but that’s what I came for! It was super quiet. We saw a deer, hawk, ground squirrels, and lots of little frogs in the frog pond. The trails would be great for kids, or anyone who doesn’t want to worry about tripping over lots of roots and rocks. Also there’s about .3-.4 mile paved trail. I took a picture of the trail at the parking area and used that as a guide as I explored. Will definitely come back!"
"Pretty walk, not spectacular, woods and more woods but I like woods. Some of the path was sidewalk quality, some marked paths overgrown. Bridges are kinda dicey. I liked it, l'll go again."
