Without Summit Lake Akron would not be the city we know today. Take a walk around the lake to explore the many roles it has played in our city’s history.
June is when Summit County residents are often treated to black bear sightings. Learn about our resilient and adaptable wild neighbors and what to do if you encounter a bear as we hike the 1.1-mile Ledges Trail.
You couldn’t outrace a horse….could you? Learn the history of the man vs. horse race on the 3.4-mile Bridle Trail (Blue) and discover the surprising edge people have in besting our equestrian competition over long distances.
Children ages 3 to 6 and their adult companions will learn about black bears, beloved animals native to Ohio. A craft and game are part of the program. Please make other arrangements for younger children unable to remain in infant seats or strollers. Registration is required and begins on 6/5.
