Penitentiary Glen Reservation

Penitentiary Glen Reservation features 424 acres of forest, fields, wetlands, and over 7.5 miles of hiking trails. The park is named for the deep gorge that divides it, which is easy to get into and difficult to get out of. Naturalists lead exciting programs year-round including nature-inspired festivals, programs, and classes. Picnic at the sheltered pavilion and listen to the sounds of nature. Penitentiary Glen Reservation has been designated by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife as a "Watchable Wildlife" site. Discover native Ohio wildlife at the Kevin P.
