About the Nature Preserve

Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve is a 168-acre non-profit nature preserve dedicated by Virginia Creasey Mahan and Howard Mahan to enrich the community through conservation, education, preservation, and community enjoyment. This area was formerly known as Hill 'O Content Farm. We are a popular destination for over 27,000 visitors! Now that Spring has arrived, you can enjoy something different every day!

Free to All!

The nature preserve is free for all to enjoy! Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve includes forested areas and grasslands with over 8.5 miles of trails, spring-fed creeks, a frog pond, and waterfalls. Our visitors also enjoy picnic areas, recreational fields for different sports, a nature center, a field house, and a two hundred year old historic manor and spring house.We are a unique non-profit organization because we do not charge a fee for admission. We rely on the community and our visitors for their support and donations.
