Fishburn Reserve is a 25-acre park with over 2,000 feet of riparian corridor covering both banks of the Kokosing River. The park was established in 2007 from lands donated by Jack Fishburn.  This gift provided the Park District with its matching share of the necessary funds to apply and eventually receive a large Clean Ohio Grant.  This match was utilized to purchase an additional 68 acres of nearby wetlands now called Gleason Nature Preserve.

Fishburn Reserve is blessed with large native trees represented by maples, sycamore, buckeye and hickory crowding the banks of the headwaters of the majestic Kokosing River!  The tangle of understory shrubs and wildflowers indicates a long-protected ecosystem not found in many areas.  Many species of both migrant and resident birds require such habitats and are frequently observed.  The park has a parking area and a partially developed trail system open for public use.

Fishburn Reserve is on the east side of CR-172, south of OH-95.
