About Bull's Run Nature Sanctuary And Arboretum

Bull's Run Nature Sanctuary and Arboretum in Middletown preserves the last free-flowing section of Bull's Run creek. The front arboretum displays labeled tree species, while visitors walk mulched trails through birding areas, along the creek, and past a meadow under restoration. The creek-side trail spans approximately one-third mile. A picnic shelter provides a gathering spot for visitors. Wildlife viewing opportunities include squirrels, various bird species, box turtles, and occasional deer. Spring brings woodland wildflowers, while autumn features a display garden of Ohio native plants. Winter visitors benefit from eight bird-feeding stations maintained throughout the grounds. The sanctuary offers educational programs for all ages, school field trips, and speakers available for community groups. The nonprofit Bull's Run Corporate manages this city park as an environmental and educational resource.
