Furnace Run Metro Park

"Not a bad trail but not very exciting. Well maintained. Easy to do for most levels of hikers or walkers. It was nice walking by the stream."

"Wide, flat, easy trails, lots of picnic tables, and well marked trails. Lodge with bathrooms and drinking fountains. Big pond. Well shaded trail. We enjoyed walking along the creek and the many bridges."

"Love this park. It's really a nice long walk too. Got lots of flowing water of creeks. The hilly terrain is my favorite kind of terrain. You can find some really quiet spots that are off the path to hang out with a picnic. I highly recommend this park for a nice decompression time and good meditation in the woods. Very pretty flowers in the woods in the spring time. Also...during winter time...if the lake freezes...you're allowed to ice skate!!"

"Great park with plenty of space for small or large gatherings. Picnic tables with grills scattered throughout the whole area. There are even some that are nestled in the woods. They have a small shelter attached to a small reserved pavilion. Two separate trails totaling around 2 miles. Rock Creek Trail takes you meandering through the woods along Rock Creek. There are several creek crossings over man-made bridges. This flat dirt Trail is great for young and old. Old Mill Trail takes you the opposite way along Rock Creek the trail splits pretty quickly when you enter. The right stays a bit flatter the left go straight up the hill a bit more hills on this trail. This Trail also has man-made bridges for the creek crossings. Just off to the right of the pavilion you will see bushwood Lake. There is a trail leading around. There is a grass path that leads closer to the stream that takes you to the street out and back. Also don't forget there is an offshoot towards the left that takes you halfway around Bush Lake"

"If you are looking for a nice leisurely walk through wooded trails look at Furnace Run. Flat surfaces, shaded, easy 1.3 mile trails. Or just bring a picnic basket and dine by the lake and enjoy the scenery. The park facilities are very clean. It is a nice way to just spend the afternoon with family, walking, fishing or just relaxing."
