Please consider adding the Black Swamp Nature Center to your list in Paulding County. Our office maintains it. There are ponds, wetland, marsh, creek, boat ramp, dam, trails, and a building for rentals. It has about 2 miles of hiking and 51 acres of property. Thanks.
I’ve added that to my to-do list. Thanks for bringing the nature center to our attention.
