Reynolds Nature Preserve

Reynolds Nature Preserve is a protected woodland area near Morrow spanning about 146 acres of forest with an extensive trail system. The site includes three miles of marked hiking paths, several ponds for wildlife, and garden sections with native plants.

The foundation for the area was laid during the Civil War when Robert T.S. Huie acquired the land. In 1976, Judge William Reynolds donated 130 acres to Clayton County to permanently protect the grounds.

The heritage garden on site displays native plant species and serves as a learning space for visitors interested in local ecosystems. Regular programs help people understand the natural environment of the area.

Visitors find free access to hiking trails with varying difficulty levels that can be used year-round. Those interested in bird watching can join regular guided walks that take place monthly.

The area contains five artificial ponds created in the 1930s by damming natural creek flows. These water bodies were deliberately constructed as wildlife habitats and continue to shape the landscape today.
