Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve is a non-profit nature preserve dedicated by Virginia Creasey Mahan and Howard Mahan to enrich the community through conservation, education, preservation, and community enjoyment!
Historic Mahan Manor, built in 1806-1807, is originally a two-story log cabin.
The nature preserve is free for all to enjoy! Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve includes 168 acres of forest with six miles of trails, spring-fed creeks, a frog pond, waterfalls, and picnic areas; as well as recreational fields, a nature center, a field house, and a two hundred year old manor.
With 111 acres of forested areas and grasslands, watch for white-tailed deer, wild turkey, raccoon, fox, possum, and other wildlife. There is a wide variety of birds to be found on the property, and healthy populations of reptiles and amphibians.
The nature preserve also serves as a wildlife refuge, providing habitat and home for a healthy white-tailed deer population.
Black-eyed susans add colorful faces to the nature preserve's meadows.
Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve is open to visitors from dawn to dusk every day, year round. Staff hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Please call or drop by if you'd like a tour or need information.
