A well known name in Toledo's elite families!. Virginia was such a lovely lady!. She loved all people, but had a real heart for helping the less fortunate. It shows at her estate grounds. Here, you'll find a gently used bookstore full of wonderful kids books, and all the way up to love novels for adults! There are many useful classes offered here for many different hobbies. Also, Virginia set aside an area for a multi-person gardening!. For apartment livers, who live to garden but don't have anywhere to do that, you can do it here! Also, a wonderful grounds to simply take a stroll and relax on the Riverside!. The grounds are well taken care of, and absolutely beautiful during the fall colors! This is one of the hidden JEWELS of Perrysburg, Ohio. For those who love it, it's simply known as The 577!!!

Living nearby I have excellent access to this trail and walk it regularly (had to fill in below where it asked when I was there but I do go regularly.) Nonetheless I never get tired of walking or running it. It is a great walk to free your mind, heart and spirit. Not too long and easily walk-able in short time . . . like 15 minutes! It is forested and dear walk around out in the open (occasionally.) The only drawback are the Canadian Geese which I never liked because they can get aggressive towards kids but no other drawbacks. The Pond is rich in minerals and growing better yearly. Also it is usually pretty low volume so one can be alone to think, write, read or just relax and get mellow . . . when not walking or running!
