On a recent visit to BG, wanted to get away from the interstate construction and see some local sights on the way to Toledo. Found Black Swamp Preserve on Tripadvisor and made it my first stop. Almost missed it because I was looking for Maple Street or Gypsy Lane as I was turned off hwy 6 onto 25. Didn't see either one, but there is a brown directional sign just inside the BG limits indicating a left turn to the Black Swamp Preserve. I took it, and drove only about two blocks to an elementary school. South of the school is a dirt parking area and the entrance to the paved path through the Black Swamp preserve. Didn't see another person the whole time we were there.

Deer, rabbits, ducklings and butterflies abound. Few people walking dogs- short boardwalk on this northern part of the Slippery Elm Trail. Bike friendly!

This accesses another trail and has some paths cut through the high grass. The park is not that big but an interesting ecosystem that is in a safe location, with ample parking and modern restrooms.

This is a beautiful, easy accessible park in Bowling Green. Through this park you can get on the Slippery Elm Trail as well, which is a nice option for those who are wanting to bike for a longer distance.
