Goeldner Woods

Discover Goeldner Woods in Earlham

Goeldner Woods is managed as a multi-use recreation area with a small picnic area near the parking lot, and an extensive trail system that explores all corners of the park. This 44 acre park is primarily upland hardwood forest, with some bottom land timber on the north end of the park adjacent to the North Branch of North River. One of the most unique aspects of Goeldner Woods is the annual spring woodland wildflower display. Due to cool north facing woodland slopes and rich virgin soils, this area explodes into pastel color tones as the forest floor literally is blanketed with millions of wildflower blooms. Over 60 species of woodland flowers have been identified.
