Blair Landing is a small park with the only trail being a short walk to the Grand River. The habitat, however, is very good. The parking lot is surrounded by woods that host forest species and, down the trail, floodplain habitat which can be checked by walking along the river. Although it is close to Blair Road there is not much traffic though this may vary depending on the time of day.

Blair Landing is home to a number of state-listed and uncommon wildlife including Cerulean Warbler, Dark-eyed Junco, and Least Flycatcher. Green-faced Clubtail dragonfly has also been found here. Bald Eagles are a common site along this stretch of the river.

Blair Landing is a large area of floodplain with little rise until the valley wall. It is a relatively open floodplain with the characteristic vegetation makeup typical of the Grand River floodplain terrace. A number of uncommon plants can be found here including hairy-fruited sedge, hairy agrimony, white hellebore, nodding rattlesnake root, and sweet-scented Indian plantain.

In 1825, Henry Thorndike of Portage County and Luther Drury of Boston built a furnace at Blair Hill, the current Blair Landing site. The furnace was located just west of the present roadway. Thorndike and Drury sold the furnace in 1828 to Seeley, Morley, and Company. From that time on, the furnace was referred to as the Blair Furnace, also referred to as the “Railroad Furnace.” This name was derived from the way materials were delivered. An incline trestle with two sets of narrow gauge tracks extended from the dock to the furnace. Materials were either taken down or brought up using this trestle.

Blair Landing was also the site of the last covered bridge in Lake County. The bridge was built in 1865 to replace an older bridge that was located further upriver. The covered bridge was torn down in 1952.
