Visit an ACRES nature preserve

Thanks to member and volunteer support, ACRES maintains trails at many preserves in northeast Indiana, southern Michigan and northwest Ohio. These protected places are free to visit and open to the public daily from dawn to dusk.

We invite you to explore these special places and join us in our mission to protect them forever.
