About the Park: Blendon Woods contains spectacular stream-cut ravines with exposed ripple rock sandstone and open fields surrounded by beech-maple and oak-hickory forests. The 653-acre park is a great place to see a variety of songbirds, waterfowl, and other wildlife, especially the flock of wild turkeys meandering about in search of food. The 118-acre Walden Waterfowl Refuge with its 11-acre Thoreau Lake, provides a sanctuary for hundreds of birds, ducks, and other wildlife. Open year-round, it features two elevated observation shelters with spotting scopes for viewing waterfowl.

It has three 20-foot tables, one 16-foot table, counter space, one double charcoal grill, prep table, two two-plug electrical outlets, lighting, drinking fountain, foot wash station, restrooms, wood burning fireplace (wood provided), and play area. The play area features a small field, horseshoe pit, and a children’s universal playset and swings. The Shadblow is ADA accessible. Parking capacity is 40 with three handicap parking spaces.
