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!
3. Fort Meigs Ohio's War of 1812 Battlefield
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 165 reviews
Built during the War of 1812 by William Henry Harrison, Fort Meigs successfully defended Ohio from a combined force of British and Native Americans during the spring and summer of 1813. It also served as the step-off point for General Harrison's invasion of Canada in the fall of that year. Reconstructed in the 1970s and again in 2000 on its original location, Fort Meigs stands today to tell the story of the thousands of soldiers who lived, fought, and died there over 200 years ago. In addition to the reconstructed fort, a visitor center and museum are also located on the site, housing hundreds of artifacts discovered during archaeological digs of the battlefield.

I had some business in the Toledo area, and decided to check out this fort on a Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised. Not only is it the largest wooden stockaded fort in North America, but it also played a pivotal role in the American defense of the Ohio Country during the War of 1812. Commissioned and built by General (soon to be President) William Henry Harrison in 1813, the fort has 7 pillboxes as well as 5 cannon and artillery emplacements. All were aimed at the British Fort Miami, located across the Maumee River. It was from this Fort Miami, and up the muddy clay embankments of the Maumee, that the British and their Native American allies charged towards Fort Meigs twice in 1813. Tecumseh, the famous Shawnee Chief, was present at these battles, as was British General Henry Procter. Many famous faces at this site. In addition to the fort and various memorials to soldiers and units who fought here, there is also a very fine visitor center, complete with classrooms, a gift shop, amenities, and a small museum. The site is well worth a day of your time. Suitable for all ages, including families with children, and a great educating site for those interested in this often obscured portion of American history.
