Features

  1. Fishing
  2. Trails

In our changing world, it is becoming necessary to promote healthy active lifestyles. The Reservoir Nature Trail provides a boardwalk-style trail in the woods (approximately 2,500 feet) with asphalt (approximately 500 feet) extending from the parking lot up to the woods. It is 8 feet wide, creating a multi-use, wheelchair accessible pathway around the north side of the municipal reservoir through the wooded portion of the property. Linking these two trails together creates a non-motorized, wheelchair accessible pathway around the municipal reservoir, connecting to the Buckeye Trail which presently runs along Canal Road.


This walkway offers opportunities for recreational uses such as bird watching, leaf-peeping, or just enjoying quiet walks through nature. It is intended that habitat improvement projects would be performed all along this walk to increase an already robust wildlife population. This is an amazing place for the people of this city and the surrounding area.
