Riddle State Nature Preserve is located in central Athens County, Ohio, on the fringe of the city of Athens, Ohio. It comprises 106 acres (about 43 hectares), of which about 85 acres (about 34.5 hectares) is an old-growth forest. The old-growth forest is also known as Hawk Woods.
The preserve is owned and managed by the City of Athens, with state dedication. It is part of the city's east-side preserve project, which to date includes about 280 acres (about 113 hectares) total.
There are no trails in the old-growth forest area, but the Athens Trail passes through the preserve on the ridge top.
