No other was the largest remaining privately-owned property within children will make the kind of memories we made there; the Dow Lake watershed and featured almost half a mile of road frontage. It took over 15 years of contacts and negotiations, but we finally reached a deal and now it is a nature preserve, named to honor Mary Beth Zak Lohse, a local naturalist and environmentalist who was well-loved by many of us, and a driving force behind local environ- mental activism. Her widower, John Lohse, was instru- mental in helping us finance and secure this purchase. Vista on the Baker Preserve no more bonds will be forever forged with trees and wind and water. The animals who lived there have long since moved away, or died for lack of habitat. This kind of development is one of the biggest threats to the natural world. When you look out over the misty rolling hills surrounding Athens, Ohio in the fall, you see a sym- phony of color.

  • Pennsylvania Club Takes a Trip to Southern Ohio Trails John Stehle Reprinted with Permission from the Magazine of the North Country Trail Association, North Star
    BUCKEYE TRAIL ASSOCIATION Trailblazer FOUNDED 1959 SPRING 2014 VOLUME 47 NO. 1 Pennsylvania Club takes a Trip to Southern Ohio Trails John Stehle Reprinted with permission from the magazine of the North Country Trail Association, North Star. Members of the Butler, PA Outdoor Club, an affiliate of the North Country Trail Asso- ciation, spent a weekend in October exploring some very interesting and beautiful areas along the NCT and BT in southern Ohio. As the fall was near its peak in color, and with the Indian summer weather, we had a delightful time. After stopping for lunch at a local farm, we visited the Hopewell Mound Group near Chillicothe, run by the National Park Service. The site is laid out very well, and we really felt like we were walking back over 2000 years, as we moved through the hills where earlier people lived, and the mound city on the plain where they participated in ritual events. The National Park Service does a great job bringing this to life. We then drove a few miles to Serpent Mound (point 18, Sinking Spring Section), run by the Ohio Historical Society and the Arc of Appalachia Preserve System. Shaped like a serpent, it is the largest animal effigy mound in the world. There is a tower that visitors can climb to see the 1,348 foot serpent image in one impressive view. We then followed the trail which let us examine the mound up close. To make the site even more special is the fact that the North Country Trail passes through the grounds.
