Area
This 33-acre natural area contains a rare groundwater-fed wetland known as a fen. Fens contain thick deposits of peat and support many rare and usual plants. Restoring the fen has included planting over 100 types of native wetland plants.
Note: The Woodman Fen Boardwalk is currently closed.
The 1,800-foot ADA accessible boardwalk snakes around the wetland. It includes three small observation decks were visitors are able to view this stunning wetland.
The 7-mile long Iron Horse Trail connects Centerville’s Iron Horse Park to the South with Creekside Trail to the north using a combination of paved trail, shared roadway and wide sidewalk. Along the way, the trail passes by the northern border of Woodman Fen near the Woodman Drive intersection. Exit the trail at Woodbine Ave to reach the park entrance.
