Oak Openings Preserve Metropark

Well marked and well maintained trails of varying lengths. Trails for walking, hiking, biking, and mountain biking. Impressive wildflower displays. In mid August, some of the best blooms are seen at the reconstructed prairie plantings near to the mountain bike Fit Park in the Beach Ridge Area. CCC handiwork still visible in the park.

This place is absolutely marvelous, you don't even feel like your in Ohio. The trails are amazing, the quiet in these trails is heavenly. We fished and we had lots of bites , caught about 2-3 fish , plenty of people were catching. There is an amazing waterfall, and so many bridges and up and down hills , it's truly an adventure! MUST VISIT!

I've came to this park since I was a kid, there's so much to do and see, they have a park, a lake, picnic area, lots of walking trails, horseback riding trails, lots of spots for great picture opportunities, bird watching, there's just so much more to list, its has areas for public bathrooms (with changing tables), definitely worth seeing

I enjoy the diversity this preserve offers. Swamp land/wet lands, sand dunes, coniferous forest, deciduous forest, grasslands, savanna, several ponds - so much to see here. Variety of plants and animals as well. Trails are well maintained and marked, several are multi-use, and there are a variety of distances to choose from. We always enjoy the red and blue, clockwise. There is a playground for young kids at the trailhead and a nature center. I've never used either so cannot speak on those. Flush toilets at parking lot. You will see red headed woodpeckers - they're everywhere lol!

As someone who's driven through the area countless times and never stopped because I thought it was all farmland with nothing worth driving across the state for, apparently I've been quite wrong. This place was a beautiful stretch of woods, wetlands, and some grasslands with wonderfully maintained campgrounds and playgrounds and peaceful trails.
