Gilliom-Cherp Nature Park
Introduction
This 176 acre park primarily consists of floodplain forest along the Black Fork of the Mohican River. There are a number of vernal pools and small open marshes found throughout the forest. The park is connected to the Black Fork Bottoms park through an easement across private land. Public hunting and fishing are the primary activities in this park, but it will be open to casual hiking during the spring and fall.
