The closer you get to the river the muddier it becomes (march). When you reach the south end of the 2 mile trail, the trail is temporary closed and you have to find your own way out. I used a construction path to get back to the bridge. It is a great place to take an easy stroll.

You often hear trail runners and avid hikers talking about "trail stoke". Well, I'm really stoked…read moreabout the trails of Wooster Memorial/Spangler! Having recently relocated to the big city of Wooster, OH from the small town of Charlotte, NC I was a bit worried that there wouldn't be any comparable trails close by. Ohio's reputation had preceded it in my mind as a mostly flat, cornfield state. This park left me pleasantly surprised. Primary activities here would include hiking, trail running and walking. There are over 10 miles of unique trails, including almost 1 mile of paved, ADA accessible trails. There are three separate entrances: Education Area, Main and Kenwood all located along Silver Road. The park snakes around and behind several pieces of private property which, who knows, could end up being part of the park some day. There are elevations ranging some one to two hundred feet on single stretches of trail. You can easily climb 1,000 ft on a 5-6 mile run or hike here. Be prepared for rocks, roots, mud, and stream crossings. In winter, you can especially expect the mud and occasional ice and snow buildup. Several areas have low boardwalks and wooden split trunks for extra traction but many of the stream crossings will find you scrambling on large rocks and possibly with wet feet. It all makes for a fantastic outdoor experience and it's totally free of charge. I'm psyched to call this park my new running home and to be able to get out here on a weekly basis with the local group!

Such a beautiful place to hike!'…read more Many different trails. We opted for the Red Outer Trail. It's the longest and some places are definitely difficult to maneuver. That said, it was gorgeous! There is a board before you enter the woods that tells you about the trails so you can choose one that is right for you and your family. The trails are well marked!!

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.

We reserved the boat online where we were able to reserve for the number of hours we wanted. We choose the lowest option which was 2 hours. Upon showing up for our reservation we were given a test for a one day boaters license. We were then taken out to the boat and walked through all the safety features before being sent out on the lake. The lake is not incredibly large but big enough to find a spot to relax, swim or drive around looking at scenery. We look forward to visiting this location again soon.

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.

The only thing I dislike about the park is the lack of winter activities. This park is great for cross country skiing, and it would be great if they had a slightly groomed ski trail, and maybe advertised on the parks website about it.
