'Sleek Swimmers'
Schleman Nature Preserve, Medina
Very hazardous. Beware the mosquitoes. But the terrain is flat... :)


I've never actually seen an otter in Ohio, but apparently they're there....Bring a compass and bug spray!

~INSTRUCTIONS~

Go in the Buckeye Woods entrance off of Rt. 162(on the North side), between Deerview Lane and Rt. 142. Take a left at the fork and park in the lot next to the playground. Start on the paved trail at the West end of the lot. At the 'T' with the trail map sign, head North until you come to a four-way intersection(notice the buckeye trees on the left side of the trail!). Go West across the bridge, into Schleman Nature Preserve. Follow the gravel trail through the apple orchard(it's totally like you're in the middle of somewhere in a book...I don't know, maybe Mirkwood?). Stay on the main trail when it branches towards the river. Cross two short, flat footbridges, note the orange reflective markers(I'm not sure what they're for...) on the left, and the green arrow on the right later on. There's also a blue pipe buried in the trail at some point. Random things to note, even though there's only one path to be on...anyway. When the green trail branches off, head North and cross a flat bridge. At the Northwest end, take a 250° heading from the left corner to a short chunk of downed tree. The 'Sleek Swimmers' Box is behind the part that sticks straight up. If anything is broken/missing/the landscape changes, please let me know at - tiredmom5kidz@yahoo.com.
