Nature Center
This ecologically-friendly structure is built almost entirely underground on one of the hill sides within the park. It features a variety of changing displays that highlight the current season and interesting events in the park, such as the recent bobcat sighting. In addition to the informational displays, the nature center offers opportunities to observed live animals. There are two large tanks that display native fish; toads and turtles; as well as several native snakes. The center's most popular feature is the “Window on Wildlife”. This area provides benches where visitors can sit and watch native birds through large plate glass windows looking out into wooded hills. The area outside the windows has even been wired with a microphone so visitors can hear the birds while watching them feed just beyond the glass. Read More >>

Paved Paths
The park has over 800 feet of elevated boardwalk to view the scenic ravines and tree canopy that can be easily accessed from the Nature Center.

Fishing
Fishing is permitted without a license at Sunfish Pond accessed through the main park. All fishing on the Twin Creek requires a fishing license.

Green Space
The landscape of Germantown makes a great place for family picnics or quiet solitude. Shelters located from the entrance at 7101 Conservancy Road are available in the main park on a first come, first serve basis. In addition, there are many picnic sites available for spontaneous get-togethers

Reservable Picnic Areas
Shelters are available at Morning Glory, Cottonwood and Goldfinch. Permits are required and can be obtained by calling (937) 275-7275 (PARK)

Camping
Groups, families, or individuals can reserve a campsite in a number of MetroParks. Most sites are primitive (pit toilet, fire ring, picnic table) and some are designed for large groups. Bring gear, food and water. Due to the threat of the emerald ash borer, do not bring firewood to any MetroPark facility. A limited supply of firewood is provided. Permits are required to camp at any of the available sites and must be obtained a week in advance. To reserve a free campsite, call (937) 277-4374 between 9am-4pm Monday-Friday.
