Welcome to the Lippincott Bird Sanctuary within the Johnny Appleseed Metropolitan Park District. This is a 0.6 mile walking trail that is carved out of the thicker field grass that leads you along a mowed path with a portion of wooden walking planks and some very minor up and down terrain! The Lippincott Bird Sanctuary was donated by Bill Lippincott in 1998. Mr. Lippincott, a former City of Lima forester shared his love of trees and nature with all who listened. You will enjoy the diverse array of habitats prairie, meadow, woodland, and wetland areas which are home to many different species of birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians as you walk the trail. Enjoy the views and the beauty of nature as you experience this preserve. Stop and rest while taking in the scenery at the overlook deck and learn about what this sanctuary has to offer! Please respect the area as I want to bring you here to enjoy this area that can easily be overlooked when driving by! BYOP and have fun!
