Fall Columbus Metro Park Hikes

Fall is finally here (even if the fall temps aren’t), and there are some excellent fall hikes coming up at the Columbus Metro Parks. 

Autumn is a great time to visit the parks and watch the leaves changing. You’ll be likely to see more wildlife now that it isn’t as hot outside.

The Metro Parks are one of the great overlooked resources in our city – and nearly every program is free!
