Here in Ohio, our hiking trails are diverse, beautiful and downright refreshing. (Be sure to check out this list of easy hikes.) Even with colder temperatures on the way, taking some time to get out and breathe some fresh can be just what you need in the middle of the end-of-the-year rush. Springfield Bog Metro Park in Akron features a stunning loop trail with wide-open prairie views. It’s a gorgeous trail to hike, no matter the season.
Springfield Bog Metro Park is a little-known gem hiding one of Ohio's most peaceful prairies.
In the autumn months, the grasses are a vibrant shade of red-orange. Visit more than once throughout the year to see how the prairie transforms with the seasons.
Springfield Bog Metro Park is located at 1400 Portage Line Rd., Akron, OH 44312. Have you ever been here before? If so, share your photos and experiences with us!
