A small parking lot is located just past the Keen Wildlife Area sign on the east side Craigo Road, near the north property boundary. Please park in the lot rather than on the widened portion of the road. A neighbor of the property has marked the widened area no parking, although the cardboard sign is barely legible (March 2024).
This 84-acre wildlife area is situated in eastern Ohio in western Harrison County 2.5 miles south of Stillwater. Access to the public area is from OH-258 on Craigo Road, T-100. The area lies in the unglaciated deeply eroded Allegheny plateau hill region of Ohio. The deeply dissected terrain is composed of ridges with steep slopes. Second growth hardwoods occupy 80 percent of the area.
The land for the Keen Wildlife Area was deeded to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife from the estate of Mrs. Margaret C. Keen in 1996. Management work will include protection and improvement of existing woodlands to maintain habitat diversity. Hunting is the major recreational use of the area; sightseeing, hiking, nature study, and bird watching are the other popular recreational uses.
There are no designated trails.
