How have the Metro Parks evolved from past to present? Take a hike this fall and become immersed in the “living landscape” around you.
This year, the 63rd annual Fall Hiking Spree theme explores what’s changed, what remains the same and the flora and fauna that thrive in fall. At the start of each spree trail, visitors will find an interpretive sign with stories about the park’s or trail’s past and present and what makes the area special for plants and animals today.
From reforestations helped along by Girl Scouts or golf courses turned goldenrod and goldfinch-flocked fields, what will you discover as you walk?
