Stunning very stunning park to visit I absolutely loved it and definitely will be returning
Super easy paved trail. A little under water in one spot but not so much you couldn’t get by. Tick alert so we stayed in the paved trail. We went in the early morning so it was not busy and nice and quiet. There is a parking lot that has plenty of parking. No restroom facilities but does have a porta john on site. It was big and not too gross (as they can be) and had hand sanitizer which was nice. I recommend this park. We were able to make it a 3 mile walk. By using the loop through to make a figure eight. We came from Dublin so it was also a nice drive.
Very good and fun. I hiked on the buckeye trail. Nice. 2 dog parks. Plenty of picnic tables. I also did the monarch and kestrel trails. Very long and only for the strong. You will need good shoes and time. Kestrel trail has ponds, observation deck, and swing. Go for it.
Very surprised by this park! Nice paved trails that are suitable for running. I like it a lot and will add this park to my daily runs. Very close to three creeks metro park so if you enjoy the outdoors you can do both in one day. They are 5 minutes apart by car.
I have not been to the dog park in at least a year! Bravo to the big dog expansion area with all the rows of trees!!! Nice and shady and a boy dog’s heaven on earth! My Bentley lifted his leg 28 times long after he had run out of “water”?! 😂 My pics today are only of this “new” awesome section! The restrooms are nice and I loved the paved loop trail here in this section across Lithopolis Rd from the office. There is a small dog fenced in part for dogs under 20 pounds. Lots of parking and several poop bag dispensers, too!
