Reviews
"After seeing something online about this place, I felt like I had to check it out. While the trail itself was decent enough, it's nothing like you see in older articles and reviews, and any pictures you see with boardwalks are a lie. It looks like they applied several techniques to provide a durable path. I like how they used culverts throughout to keep parts of the trail from getting too muddy. I still wouldn't want to walk it after a hard rain. It might be nice if you live within a few blocks and have kids, but I really don't think I'll go back. It didn't really feel like a nature walk. It just felt like I was walking through someone's overgrown backyard."
"I’ve only been here during the winter so I’m not sure what it’s normally like but the snow just melted so a lot of the trail was muddy. It was a short trail, a little less than a mile to do the whole thing but you should definitely go here if you want to take a short walk to clear your mind. We saw a few deer and all of the water was frozen which gave an eerie feeling but it was neat!"
"UPDATE August 2022 Beyond disappointed with MetroParks management of the Fen. I wasn't expecting to move back to Ohio and not be able to use the Fen in 2022. Worst of all part gravel is now on part of the perimeter trail when they could have come in via Norton over the landfill avoiding the Fen. So much the "sensitive nature of the Fen" as a reason for not reopening when it wasn't too sensitive for gravel. This where I spent my summers on mini bikes and motorcycles in early 70s"
"Really beautiful, however it's so secluded that it's a little scary if you're by yourself. Especially since theres evidence of people being back there probably not up to their best behaviors. I'd come back, but as I'm a female probably not alone."
"A very nice little wooded area in the middle of an urban area. The boardwalk is very nice but fairly short. The longer path around the outside is mostly dirt and can be muddy in places."
