Wolf Creek Trout Lily Preserve

Wolf Creek Trout Lily Preserve is a conservation area owned by Grady County thru generous private donations, including the previous owners, Flint River Timber Company, and a grant from the Georgia Land Conservation Program.  

Established in 2009 through the efforts of volunteers from the Magnolia Chapter (Tallahassee) of the Florida Native Plant Society (including some Georgians). The Preserve is destined to remain forever undisturbed from human development, protecting the many acres and literally tens of millions of beautiful yellow and maroon dimpled trout lilies and thousands of maroon spotted trillium. The bloom in February forms an expansive carpet covering approximately 15 acres on a gently sloping hillside. This is considered the largest extent of these trout lilies known anywhere in the world.

The preserve consists of diverse beech-magnolia and floodplain forest bisected by Wolf Creek. Wolf Creek is a tributary of Tired Creek which flows into the Ochlockonee River. Over 200 species of plants have been identified on the Preserve. Other ephemeral blooms include Spring Coralroot, Bloodroot, Southern Twayblade Orchid, Jack-in-the-Pulpit, Green Dragon. A few noted trees include Sparkleberry, American Holly, Water Oak, Shumard Oak, Magnolia, Beech, Spruce Pine, Hop Hornbeam and Ironwood
