Residents and visitors enjoy the State of Ohio forest with its beautiful wild flowers, vegetation, and wildlife such as deer and wild turkeys. Many take advantage of biking and walking along the Wabash Cannonball Rails to Trail that traverses east and west across the township. The Maumee River has served as a recreational spot for boating, fishing and family fun.
There are three township cemeteries: Heath, Mohler and Texas. Each year on Memorial Day, a public ceremony is held at the G.A.R Memorial Monument in Heath to honor veterans that gave their lives in past wars.
The township is governed by three elected trustees and one fiscal officer. The Washington/Liberty Township volunteer fire department provides fire and medical services to the township residents. The Henry County Sheriff Department provides protection and response to emergency situations throughout Washington Township.
