Woodhaven Program Center is an 84 acre Girl Scout facility and natural area located on the north edge of Lima near the Lima Mall. The program center offers year round facilities for day or lodge camping. Sweetbriar Lodge, Rose Marie Duffy Lodge, Shagbark Environmental Center, and the Adventure Challenge course are among the amenities of this location. There are two shelter houses, each having four picnic tables, and there are 12 sites, each having two picnic tables and a fire ring. There are open areas available for recreational activities, and the visitor might want to take a leisurely walk along one of the trails and stop by the observation tower for a view of the forest.
