The Kuenning-Dicke Natural Area, located along the historic Miami and Erie Canal between Lock One and the former site of Lock Two, offers 71 acres of wildlife protection and a peaceful site for outdoor recreation. More than 800 trees have been planted in the park to spur the return of native plant and animal species to the area. The Kuenning-Dicke Natural Area hosts 2.5 miles of trails for walking, running, hiking, and biking. A three-acre lake provides ample opportunity for catch-and-release fishing, while the primitive campsite is the perfect resting spot for backpackers and cyclists. The park is also home to several small memorials, honoring American veterans of wars and conflicts.

There is a pedestrian entrance connecting to the Miami & Erie Canal Towpath at 6626 Township Hwy 55A (Lock 2 North Road), shown in the second photo.
