Come on…get outside and enjoy the beauty of winter woodlands on a guided nature hike with Lake Metroparks naturalists. What could be better than a hike, campfire, warm food and music to cure your cabin fever! Winter Hike activities will step off at Penitentiary Glen Reservation in Kirtland beginning at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 19.
There are four hikes, varying in length and terrain, from which hikers may choose.
- An interpretive hike about three miles long with a few stops along the way.
- A shorter and easier hike for novice hikers.
- Fast walkers who want to get some fresh air and enjoy the park.
- A self-guided short trail option for families with young children or more limited mobility. Easy-to-follow trail maps are available in the Nature Center.
Enjoy hot soup and beverages served inside the comfortable Nature Center after the hike and enjoy live folk music, all included in the program fee. Outdoors, the warmth of a roaring campfire will be ready with s’mores for everyone.
All participants receive a Winter Hike patch and an add-on year patch.
