The Ott Biological Preserve is an absolute gem in Battle Creek. The trails are well-maintained, peaceful, and offer a great mix of woods, wetlands, and lakeside (small lake) views. It’s the perfect place for a quiet walk, a quick hike, or just to clear your head. The recent upgrades to the parking area and trailhead make the experience even better. Every visit feels relaxing and refreshing. Highly recommend to anyone looking to enjoy nature close to the city! Pet Friendly with a Restroom at the south parking lot.
I enjoyed my 90 min 3.3 miles in this nature preserve. It had a little bit of everything from low laying swamp areas to a couple of nice ponds along with a section which seems to be an old sand dune section. Very well marked paths with maps to know your location. Can't really get lost at this one. Great easy spot for any hikers of all ages.
Absolutely beautiful and such a large area to walk!!! Would definitely come here again.
Upgraded trails are beautiful. All new parking and a new unisex bathroom. Great job!
Great place for a hike.
