  • Great park would be five stars but didn’t see Bigfoot not even a footprint. Lovely trails through the woods should be a Bigfoot hotspot but no luck.

  • This metropark was a stop just off route 70 on our way south. right off the highway, it was a great stop with prairie plantings and a large fishing lake area with trails through meadows and forest...

  • Nice metro park just a short drive west of Columbus. There are a couple different shelter houses. A large playground area for the kids. Ample amount of parking available, as well as restroom facilities. There are trails here as well, but I didn't have time to walk them. I was impressed that they provided paper bags for pet waste.
  • We came here around 10am on a saturday morning and had the whole lake area #2 to ourselves! Beautiful spot to kayak and the water is pretty clear! Good fishing spot for sure. You aren't able to park at #2 entrance but we just dropped the boats off and parked a short walk away. They even have a fishing dock down by the water access. Will definitely be back!! Perfect spot for a beginner kayaker!!!
