Trimble Wildlife Area
The Adventure…
Trimble Wildlife Area is a heavily-wooded and rugged 2,000-acre park. Hunting and hiking are the most common activities here. The area is a popular spot for hunting gray squirrel, white-tailed deer, ruffed grouse, wild turkey, and cottontail rabbit. Oak-hickory stands and beech groves scattered throughout the area provide good squirrel hunting and excellent habitat for the wild turkey. The reverting fields containing wild crabapple, hawthorn, and pine plantings in combination with second-growth hardwoods provide excellent grouse and deer habitat. The best rabbit hunting occurs in the reverting old fields and adjacent woodland edges. The New Straitsville Section of the Buckeye Trail also runs through the park.
