Making Connections

Much of the access to nature Lucas County residents enjoy is provided through Metroparks. Of late, that access to our natural world has improved tremendously–there is now a Metropark within 5 miles of every resident of Lucas County.

Additionally, an expanding network of regional trails is connecting parks to one another and to the communities they serve. There are over 200 miles of trail within the park system, and Metroparks either manages or is a participating partner in a number of additional trails. Many of these trails connect a diverse collection of parks, preserves and open spaces—some of which are flat, heavily forested, located at water’s edge or agricultural or historical in nature.

We encourage you to come out, get connected and discover the breathtaking natural areas right outside your door.
