About this adventure

Blacklick Woods Metro Park features 643 acres of pristine beech-maple swamp forest, designated as a National Natural Landmark. Families can walk the elevated Walter A. Tucker Nature Preserve boardwalk, an all-weather wooden path suitable for all strollers and little feet, winding among towering historic trees and seasonal wetlands where kids can look for frogs, salamanders, and woodpeckers. Kids also love the newly constructed Canopy Walk, giving them an exciting bird's-eye view into the tree branches from high above the forest floor. The newly renovated Nature Center provides hands-on sensory discovery drawers, interactive wildlife dioramas, and clean modern family restrooms with baby changing stations.
