The more familiar section is on the north side of US-224 with the historic McKinniss Homestead with gorgeous barns and period garden as well as a scenic, accessible walkway into the woods. Long-eared, Great Horned, Barred and Screech owls have been seen there.

Litzenberg Memorial Woods, a renewable forest, 227 acres located fives miles downstream west from Findlay along the Blanchard River. Many scenic surprises await visitors to this natural, historic park. The rolling countryside in the Blanchard River Valley, wooded ravines, and vistas that haven’t changed for over a century make this park area one of the most beautiful places within the Hancock Parks system.
