Sharon Woods Metro Park in Westerville is a wonderful place to walk or bike. There are several interconnecting trails through beautiful woods to enjoy the peacefulness of nature. The asphalt paved bike trail (one-way) goes around the outer perimeter of the park and has a couple of tough hills; the trail is about 4-miles long. Though my visit was in December when there was some snow on the ground, I enjoyed my walk on the bike trail. The short trail along the lake is especially beautiful. There is also a sledding hill in the park. I highly recommend a visit to Sharon woods any time of the year; it is park packed with a variety of recreational options.

5. Hayden Falls Park

Hard to believe there are falls inside the 270 loop. We enjoyed viewing Hayden Falls. It’s a small walk from the nature preserve parking lot. Probably not even 1/4 of a mile. The steps down to the board walk is probably the most strenuous part of the walk but if your in decent shape it’s not a big deal. The viewing area was very slippery in February so be careful it’s worth your time to view these falls if your in the Columbus OH area.
