Tinkers Creek Nature Preserve

Tinkers Creek State Nature Preserve is not exactly what you would think it would be. To many northeast Ohio hikers, the Tinkers Creek reminds them of the lush hemlock gorges of the Bedford Reservation, a park that suurounds Tinkers Creek many miles downstream from here. The 786-acre Tinkers Creek State Nature Preserve consists of a diverse ecosystem of swamps, forests, and marshlands.
