The end of spring and summer, the trees are full of green leaves and the bushes are full of raspberries and blackberries. You can fish for catfish, carp, sunfish, bluegill, and trout.

I recommend carpenter on a day where it's not wet. If it's to wet you may get your feet suck or not be able to walk the whole way around.

There is a multitude of opportunities to walk in the woods, however, if you are really just looking to put some miles on, there's an excellent paved path that circles the field. One of the remarkable benefits is that it has public bathrooms that are quite clean and well-maintained. You don't often find that on most trails. of course, one of the primary highlights of Freer Field in general is Candy Cane Lane during the Christmas season. For this period of time, the entirety of one of the trail loops is completely decorated for Christmas with beautiful lights.

I did not know it even had a park, until my local friend told me about it & we met up there. 2. It is HARD to find for a first time. If you just put in freer field it takes you to an open field.. the park is actually across that big field... there's actually a big white barn or school? you can put in your Maps or Nav & it'll take you basically right to it. But trying to find it without knowing those places names, very hard. I only found it because she sent me her location. Overall nice park though. Small enough to always see your kids & to be full fenced in! Super bright colored playground sets right next to it, but they said it was only for the school. Which was a bummer because the public one was brown & that one really caught the kids' attention & wanted to play there but couldn't.

Fly-fishing? For TROUT? In Ohio? Oh, wait. Get this: in WOOSTER Ohio. Oh baby, oh baby. It…read moreis true. I have seen it with my own two peepers and caught these fabulous trout my own self. Here's the deal: you are only fifty-odd paces from a busy highway, right next to a bunch of huge industrial yards, down a rutted gravel road, and there is this nagging voice in the back of your noggin yelling, "Run! This is a trap! You are at least one United State away from ANY trout fishing!" Don't listen to THAT voice, listen to me, your trusted Yelp Buddy. You will not be sorry you did. The state did a survey some twenty years ago, and found some nice streams that could, just maybe, support trout. One of these was Apple Creek, running east to west just south of Wooster. They didn't want to invest in a long shot, so the good and great folks at Trout Unlimited stepped up, bought some trout, and started a-stocking. There were a few lean years in there, but now? Boy Howdy! This is an amazing little (two mile) stretch of water. So, all I ask in return for unearthing this rare gem for you is this: practice catch and release. Revel in the experience, then put those beauties back so they can grow, and flourish, and be caught by some other guy or gal. You won't need a huge stick; I routinely cast a three-weight. Nymphs are a hot item year-round, but dry is the way to go when the insects are buzz-bombing you on the short walk from the parking lot to the stream. Oh, and pick up your trash, and a few items that were washed down in the many floods this area experiences. Thanks. Tight lines.

Even though it's a bit of a drive, this is my go-to place for canoeing and kayaking…read more It's just SO cheap compared to all the places further north, which are double or triple the price for less time on the river. We take the 14 mile trip, which essentially works itself out for $25 a person. The canoes and kayaks are a little older, the vans are older, they might not clean the life jackets super often, but it's a kickass time! But honestly, who cares! You're going to get dirty and sweaty canoeing or kayaking down the river. You really cannot beat the price for the experience. There's a lot less litter on the river compared to when I've went further north, less cars, and you are surrounded by corn fields. The river is simply beautiful and relaxing. It depends on the weekend whether or not there will be a lot of people - not many people do the 14 mile trip, so the first 7 miles of that are peaceful. After you hit the 7 mile mark, there tends to be a lot more people, as that's what most people take. 14 miles takes around 4-5 hours (or 6, depends on how much or little you're paddling, speed of the river, etc) , and 7 miles takes about half that. They also aren't strict at all on what you can bring/drink on the river, or if you need to stop, or anything else. In addition, if you do flip, the water level is 3 feet at most along the river. Just make sure to call ahead if it has been raining recently. I would recommend taking a trip out here out to the middle of nowhere to spend a summer day. It's a ton of fun and a good way to build teamwork trying not to flip a canoe or kayak.

I came today to give my kids a park today on and get some sitting in the car too long energy out. They have a pretty nice variety of playground equipment to keep the kids moving around. They have 4 kid swings and 4 toddler swings. The toddler swings are great because three year old can go higher than usual. The park has some sunny and shady spots which makes it wonderful place to observe the kids. They also have a disc golf course here which is why I visited this place a few years ago. The course has one nasty pond to play around but is decent other than for that. They also have two pools there but I have never tested them out or looked into the price.
