Boch Hollow is one of our newest state nature preserves. It was established in 2008 with 571 acres. It has a mandated mission to provide environmental education. It features the state's largest known colony of the Federally-endangered buffalo running clover (Trifolium stoloniferum). It also provides a route for a section of the Buckeye Trail, Ohio's official state trail. There are three trailheads with parking:
*Ohio State Route 664
