Parks with Ken: Sugarcreek MetroPark, Main Park

Here’s park number 2 in the series:

This one’s part of the Five Rivers group, as opposed to Centerville Washington Township. A different governing entity!

Review:

Difficulty: 1/5

Points of note:

  • Consistent trail difficulty. Elevations don’t vary significantly.
  • Some different biomes, but one of the main trails was closed.
  • A cool-looking osage orange trail, but we went in winter so the coolness factor was tempered a little. But it looks like it’d be worth a summer visit.
  • Some informational signs.
  • Very clear trail markings.
  • The Three Sisters – white oak trees over 500 years old. Ken pointed these out during the hike but it was only once I visited the website later that I found out what these giant trees were. Definite coolness points there.

I’ll plan on revisiting the osage orange trail.
