The staff of the Darke County Parks hopes the New Year brings you peace and many days discovering the nature in your backyard and beyond!

The Nature Center will be closed on the 1st (Park trails will remain open dawn-dusk).  We will re-open on the 2nd.

The Nature Center and Park Offices will be closed today, Dec 30th, due to staff illness. Sorry for the late notice and inconvenience. The trails of Shawnee Prairie will remain open. Exercise caution in parking lots and on park trails due to ice and snow.
