The Exploration Gateway is off of 12th St and right on Sippo Lake. They have a nature center, gift shop, several meeting rooms where they host special events, and a branch of the Stark County Library. There are several short trails branching off from the building and parking lots, at least some of which are stroller friendly. There is also a small playground.

Unless you seek it out on your own you won't find it in any kind of welcome packet. Called twice before we arrived to find out check in times and check out times. Both times I got different times given to me by a girl that sounded clueless to what I was even asking her. She had to ask someone for the answer and was put out. No where on the website does it talk about check out and check in times. For a good reason. CHECK OUT WAS AT 11:00! I MEAN, WHO HAS AN 11:00 CHECK OUT?? No time for a relaxing cup of coffee on check out day! I can't imagine wrangling a few kids and trying to breakdown camp and leave before 11:00. I was also told that if you are late by a minute you will be charged $30. late fee! Seriously?

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!! I wish I lived closer to this place! What a beauty!!

Kayaks are not maintained. No plugs, they take on water. Staff is not well trained, check in…read moreprocess was slow, staff was rude, waited for the bus ride to the start... then Ernie was rude when we returned stating he and his staff would like to go home on time. Well I would have loved to start my reservation at the correct time and not delay your staff. I was late 20 minutes like you were 20 minutes on my reservation. If your delay made it to where my family and I could not enjoy ourselves on the water then you should have not let us start in the first place. We were not warned that our time was being cut short. I will not return to this location or any business that's states "Ernie" on the building as he kept pointing out. Canal Fulton canoe livery kayaks are well maintained and the staff are friendly. We will be recommending them to friends and family and avoiding this location for now on. So if you're thinking about kayaking here, look into canal Fulton... same water, better staff, better pricing, better trip!!!

Water was calm on our ride, but the 2nd we stopped paddling, these kayaks were immediately start to turn sideways or backwards. My son's kayak had a completely jammed seat back rendering it useless and his foot holders were broken so he got a sore back half way through the ride. My daughter's foot holders also broken. Lesson learned, assess the kayaks ur gonna have before they load them on the trailer or just take ur own if an option.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because they close it down for far too long in the winter. It was into May before they opened it again. There were many nice days I would have taken our dogs if it had been open. But, like I said, great dog park that often has plenty of friends for your dogs to play with. Would highly recommend it for any dog owner!
