Waterloo Wildlife Research Station
The area is surrounded on three sides by the Zaleski State Forest, and Ohio State Route 356, and Ohio State Route 56 forms the border for the fourth (east) side. The entrance to the wildlife area is off Route 356 immediately south of its junction with Route 56. The wildlife area is drained by Hewett Fork, a principal tributary to Raccoon Creek.
A turkey management area of more than 5,000 acres is located partly in this wildlife area, and partly in the adjacent state forest.
This facility has an extensive system of short hiking trails, largely based on old fire roads. However, these are no longer actively maintained.
Waterloo Aquatic Education Center
The principal building of the site is now the Waterloo Aquatic Education Center, operated by the Raccoon Creek Water-Trail Association.
