The Water (Bi)Cycle

| TT/Big Bend Trailhead

If you have any questions regarding this program, please call the Nature Realm Visitors Center at 330-865-8065, Tuesday—Saturday, 10 am—5 pm, Sunday 12–5 pm.

Akron reclaims over 2.5 million gallons of water a day, but Ohio’s wetlands have been on the job for over 2.5 million years. Enjoy a 12-mile round-trip bike ride as we explore the similarities and differences in how people and the environment reclaim water. Please bring your own helmet and bicycle. Helmets are required to participate.
