About the preserve

ChesLen Preserve is the largest privately owned nature preserve open to the public in Chester County. Miles of marked hiking trails lead visitors through shady woodlands, flower-filled meadows, farm fields, and stream valleys.

Visitors can also explore Ollie Owl’s NaturePlayGround, where young explorers can climb logs, build stick tee-pees, hunt for bugs, explore small streams, and get a little dirty, tired, and inspired. Free play is encouraged and is a great way for kids to gain an appreciation for nature.

parking

ChesLen Preserve has five parking lots. The event organization will let you know where to park for your specific event.

The main parking lot is located at 1199 Cannery Road next to the Lenfest Center. It is reached via a long driveway and is paved with 30 spaces. Four additional gravel parking lots are located nearby: two more lots along Cannery Road, one on Route 162, and one at the Newlin Township building further north on Route 162.

visitor hours

Friday – Wednesday, dawn to dusk. Closed Thursdays.
