Another great Summit County Metro park. Nestled in unassumingly. Unless you are looking for it, you…read moremost likely wouldn't notice it. There are multiple parking areas, two walking paths (1 mile and 2 mile). A bridle trail for horses. A boathouse for rentals. A small dock area. Platform for shore fishing. Several small ponds and of course the main Lake. A bathhouse with restrooms, showers and changing areas. A small concession stand. Picnic tables, benches and grills. A pavilion. A Sandy beach and swimming area. Lots to offer for sure. The nature preservation is wonderful. No paved walking paths. But the smaller of the two is fairly flat. They just added an archery location with targets two summers ago. Even if you are not able/want to use the trails, there are still plenty of areas to park and sit or sit at a table and enjoy the outdoors. It's nice that it's not too overwhelming with people as it's size allows for numbers but also for a quiet and calm experience as well. Lots of doggies walk the trails too.

We picked up our calendar and wooden stand from Summit Metro Parks today, and it's truly something…read morespecial. The stand is made of wood, laser-cut, and then carefully hand-sanded by volunteers--each one finished with such care. The calendar itself changes monthly, with sturdy cards featuring beautiful photographs from parks all across Summit County. It's a simple piece, but beautiful in its craftsmanship and the story behind it. The young Lady at the front desk of the main office gave us all the details and a lot of information on the summit metro parks. #SummitMetroParks #SummitCounty #SupportLocal #CommunityStrong #VolunteerMade #LocalLove #OhioNature #ExploreLocal #ParkLife #NatureAppreciation

This is a fairly nice walking and cross ski park. It has several miles of courses that are marked…read moreas hiking, cross country skiing and some points of interest. The trails are mostly wooded. The only issue I have is that there are markings guying you back to the parking lot and they seem to never have printed maps. So make sure you take your phone and photograph the park map.

I am constantly on the hunt for local outdoor activities, and even though Ohio doesn't have…read moreColorado-esque terrain, there is still no reason to stay cooped up at the gym. Towner's Woods has some of the finest trails in the region, contained within a variety of environments. Near the park's entry, there is gorgeous Lake Pippin. Although water access isn't permitted because it is owned by the city of Akron (used for their water supply), some of the trails provide a scenic, somewhat hilly walk alongside it. The historic Hopewell burial mound (marked by an arrowhead on the map) is also near this entry portion of the park. The geography also includes flatter wetland terrain, a popular sledding hill, and a few ponds scattered throughout the woods. People use the park for trail running, dog walking (only on leash), and even cross country skiiing or snow shoeing in season. You could easily crank out 5-6 miles or more, if you were willing to retrace a few sections of the trail. All routes are well marked and maintained, and it would be hard to get lost in here for too long. Even on sunny weekends, I've been surprised at how sparsely populated the park is. Because of it's sprawling size, it's easy to have a very solitary experience. There are picnic pavilions and benches scattered around for warmer weather. Parking is plentiful just off the Ravenna Road entrance. There are also bathrooms in this area. If you're traveling on foot or by bike (bikes not permitted on the park's interior trails, though), you can get here via the Portage County Hike and Bike Trail. I hope you'll enjoy Towner's as much as I have. Whatever the season, it's an ideal place for a peaceful and active wander.

Exploring the trails were the reason we came to this location this afternoon. We did bring our dogs and kept them on leash the full time without any issues! The dogs loved the fresh air & being in nature. If possible I would deduct a half star for the user friendliness of the trails. The trails intertwined, overlapped, & were not marked well for first timers. There was a post with multiple trails at the start & a map. However, there were not any other markers after, even when the trails overlapped & intersected. Overall a wonderful location!! Just plan some extra time to trouble shoot the trails if your a first timer like we were!

This review is going to be limited to the disc golf course. On the plus side, the course is well…read moremarked and easy to navigate. On the negative side, the fairways are very narrow and anything that beers off will have you climbing through bramble. All in all a fun course but there are better nearby.

The trail is mainly concrete at the onset, so this can be a little harder on your feet. What I enjoy most, is watching happy dogs, walking the trail with their owners! People are very friendly here and will say hello. This park is connected to a beautiful town, where people are that friendly, so don't be alarmed! On a Sunday afternoon, you will find lots of runners passing you and bicycles too, so just be careful and stay to the right.

A super cool park I am looking forward to checking out more in the future…read more I accidentally discovered this park while looking for a place to eat lunch with a friend. We accidentally also discovered the butterfly garden, which is located at the entrance of the park. Upon sneaking around the corner we noticed that the park is hugely expansive and leads down into the Cuyahoga River. I was immediately pleasantly surprised at how clean and lush it was, and how you could close your eyes and just hear the gentle hum of the river. I don't have a lot to report right now other than that I was impressed with what I observed and that my friend and I look forward to coming back in the future. We were both very shocked it's such a large, winding park. I never knew this existed in this area and I'm really excited to try it out soon and report back more fascinating details here! For now I will just leave it at clean, cute and interesting.
