Stage's Pond State Nature Preserve

Stage's Pond State Nature Preserve spans 178 acres of land featuring kettle lakes, oak woodlands, grasslands, and wetlands that support diverse wildlife populations.

The nature preserve gained official protection status in 1974 through the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to safeguard its ecological significance.

Students and researchers frequently visit the preserve to study native flora, fauna, and the geological formations created by ancient glacial activity.

Visitors can access the preserve through Hagerty Road, with designated trails leading to observation points around the ponds and through woodland areas.

The preserve contains kettle lakes formed by melting glacial ice blocks during the last ice age, creating deep depressions that filled with water.
