Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve - Nature preserve in Fishers - 10410 Hague Rd, USA

This is a fabulous nature preserve right in a spot where you'd least expect it. Great place to run in dirt trails, walk dogs, hold an event, or just have a quiet lunch on a weekday. The facilities, including restrooms, are always fantastically clean. It's important to remember that this is a preserve and not simply a park. The rules are slightly different and it's up to those of us who visit to keep things here as nice as they are! Whoever maintains and otherwise takes care of Ritchey Woods has done a phenomenal job for as long as I can remember- at least a couple decades at this point!

Ritchey Woods is a great park in Fishers if you are seeking solace in the ever growing city. I love leisurely strolling in the Fall. The colors was not too vibrant but it gives you enough preview of of the magnificent Fall. It is really one of my favorite city park in Fishers.

I did my first hike of the year this year here, and it was beautiful. Quiet and relaxing, the woods are very beautiful. There's a small cemetery along one of the trails, various places to sit down to rest, and restrooms that had a sign saying they were open during park hours. Trails were well maintained, a mixture of gravel and dirt. Bridges were great! A beautiful creek to marvel at, lots of signage up about not creek stomping at this particular location, restoration in progress ❤️ Saw a lot of mushrooms and birds. Lots of people with their doggos for walks, ample parking in the lot.

It is a well kept Nature Preserve. Great for enjoying the outdoors with your favorite people and canine companions.

We stopped here to walk our dog and what we ended up finding was an amazing park. It was fall and the colors were gorgeous. The walking trails were wide, clean, and easy. Everyone was getting their family photos taken here because of the gorgeous landscape. Parking is plenty. Facilities are new and appeared clean.

Very nice trail and happy to see they have restrooms and they even have a poo bag station for poochies.

My first visit & will definitely go back. It was so shaded. Not to many people about. The trails are shorter, one even has a dead end. Picnic tables in 2 different spots, restrooms (didn't go in), a spot for borrowing a book ❤️, appeared to be a fire pit but that was dead bolted, several benches for sitting and bird watching, gravel & dirt paths, trails are marked very well, very dog friendly (had waste bags/cans). Saw a chipmunk, birds & a rabbit. Several different trees, which are marked and fun for learning. It smelled like fresh bloomed flowers but I never did see any!

beautiful woods, brambles, fields, wildflowers, hills, swamp... everything you want in a nice park. lovely native plants, lots of birds. clean bathrooms.
