(According to an extensive attitude/opinion survey conducted in 2009)
Lake Metroparks maintains currently more than 43 miles of trails through-out Lake County, including a
4.8 bike/hike trail. Explore hemlock ravines, open meadows, mature forests, the
Lake Erie shoreline. Discover fascinating clues to our past.
Most trails are gravel-surfaced; some are hard-surfaced and suitable for strollers and wheelchairs; and some include steps and inclines that challenge any hiker.
Horses and bicycles are permitted on specially designated trails, and your dog on a leash is welcome at most parks. Hiking trails are open every day of the year and specific hours are posted.

The first Saturday in June each year is celebrated as
National Trails Day.
The theme for National Trails Day 2012, Made With All Natural Ingredients, encourages all Americans to get outside, connect with local outdoor clubs, businesses, community groups, and parks and recreation departments as well as federal land managing agencies to experience, appreciate and celebrate the natural places where we can find a spread of scenery, a plateful of peace, and a heap of happiness and health.
Why not join a hike at Lake Metroparks to commemorate this day?
