This is a free public trailhead with parking available on Wayne Ave. There are no restroom facilities at this particular trailhead, so plan accordingly, and bring your own water and snacks as there are no concessions.

Trail is open year-round and can be enjoyed in all seasons. Spring brings wildflowers and baby wildlife, summer offers lush greenery (bring bug spray), fall features beautiful foliage, and winter allows for peaceful walks when trails are clear of snow. Avoid after heavy rains when trail areas near the creek may be muddy.

Head to Main Street Reynoldsburg (about 2 miles away) for family-friendly options like Sonic Drive-In for quick burgers and shakes, or try local pizza spots where kids can refuel after their outdoor adventure.
