The Valle View Reserve in Fairborn, Ohio is just half a mile from where I live. But I had never gotten the chance to visit the site because it never showed up on searches for “things or places to see in Fairborn“. The bigger parks and reserves around the area were on top of the search list, and the Valle View Reserve was never to be found. Only yesterday, while I was jogging in the neighborhood and then turning in a small alley that I saw the sign of the reserve!
The Valle View Reserve is a wetland preservation and a walking trail park, with about 1/4 mile unpaved looped pathway.
The park is about 27 acres and along the Beaver Creek waterway.
Here are more pictures of the reserve and things to see along the trail:
