Paw Paw Trail at Smeck Park
Group Hike #7 of 2022 Tri-county Series
Wednesday, September 7, 2022 | 9:30 – 11:00 a.m.
Smeck Park
7395 Basil Rd; Baltimore, OH 43105
Walk with friends (some you haven’t met yet) on the first Wednesday of each month from March through November for a group hike at a Fairfield County Park District, Pickaway County Park District, or a Ross County Park District location. The seventh hike in the series of nine walks is at our own Smeck Park!
In Smeck Park you will find oak, sycamore and paw paw trees, a stand of CCC-planted pine trees, forested and meadow areas, plus park features including Cruit House (log-framed house), Fetter-Hood Barn, Stover Windmill, pollinator garden, and pond. There is a nice playground and a picnic shelter in the park. So, if you want to make a day of it, bring a lunch with you and stay a while!
