[1] Goodenow Grove Nature Preserve contains mostly woods, but has some prairie.
Amenities include primitive campsites, picnic shelters available for reservation, and an ice-skating pond when conditions allow.
[1] In 1996, Goodenow Grove was dedicated as a State Nature Preserve for its diverse ecosystems, including forests, floodplain, seeps, savanna, prairies, meadows, and marshes.
The nature preserve provides protection for the habitat of state-threatened or endangered species, including the eastern massasauga rattlesnake, the spotted coral root orchid, and more.
There is also a bird observation area, including birdhouses fitted with "Spy-On-A-Bird" cameras.
