Midsummer is a great time to get out of the city. Central Ohio has a lot of metro parks to help you with that. The bountiful trees all around filtering and cooling the air are reason enough to go, here are a few more if you need them.
Hayden Falls Park has a gorgeous waterfall and stream tucked into a cove that is easily accessible and open to anyone who is interested in getting wet as well. And its just up the road in Dublin.
Take a trip down the Scioto at the Scioto Canoe Livery, called Columbus’s best kept secret, where you can rent canoes, kayaks, and tubes.
Did you know that 12 Metro parks have trails where you can walk your dog? Prairie Oaks and Battelle Darby Creek even offer places where you can let your dog go for a swim and Scioto Audubon has dog parks with agility courses at their park.
Below is a list of links to local Metro Parks, you’re sure to find one that draws you in.
