3rd Annual
Mambourg Winter Hike
Mambourg Park
5531 Cincinnati-Zanesville Rd NE
Lancaster, OH 43130
This is the last of three annual winter hikes in our park district. If you haven’t yet, make this an annual tradition with friends and family, including the four-legged ones. Don’t hibernate, get outside! Walk the Oak, Hickory, and/or Chipmunk trails, then warm up with chili soup and hot drinks.
Trail conditions will vary based on weather; be prepared with appropriate footwear to hike in muddy, snowy, or icy and slippery conditions. The trails total about 3.5 miles and offer a variety of terrain; most hikers will finish in less than an hour. Those who wish to enjoy the food and drinks should start the trail between 10:00 a.m. and noon. Refreshments will be served from 10:30 until 12:30 p.m.
Where to Meet
Begin the hike at any of the trails you prefer, and finish at the nature center.
