About Big Darby Headwaters Nature Preserve
The 800-acre Big Darby Headwaters Nature Preserve, managed by The Nature Conservancy, encompasses a mixture of wetlands and streamside forests. Here, humble coldwater springs and streams emerge, forming the nourishing capillaries that are the lifeblood of Big Darby Creek’s permanent flow downstream.

These headwaters are fed by a complex of underground seeps, which contribute millions of gallons of clean, cold water to tributary streams of nearby Big Darby Creek.

These headwater streams and the floodplains, forests, and wetlands around them are important not only for their influence on water quality and hydrology in the Big Darby but also because they provide important habitat for plants and animals.

The preserve features a handicap-accessible trail and interpretive signage showcasing the importance of the headwaters to people and wildlife.

Big Darby Headwaters Nature Preserve is open year-round, dawn to dusk. From Big Darby Headwaters Nature Preserve webpage
