Sand Run Metro Park

I can't say enough positive things about this park. It's such a a beautiful area. Trails are mostly natural or stone in places and very well maintained. Trails range from short to very long with multiple ways to connect . Several nice picnic areas available. Only down side is the noise from road traffic and surrounding neighborhood but still highly worth it. There is also a multipurpose trail that runs alongside the road.

Shady Hollow Lodge was perfect! Small intimate lodge that holds 40 guests. Large kitchen, great restrooms, beautiful round wood tables on wheels 😉, wood burning fireplace. Outdoor patio was awesome with seating and space for corn hole, games, etc. Everyone had a great time. Highly recommend!!

One random day we used the grill outside of Shady Hollow Lodge! Fortunately it wasn’t rented!! Worked well, we brought charcoal and cleaned up afterwards. There is a smell coming from the grate - and ranger came up and said it was probably sewage.. that made us feel better, thought maybe it was a dead body haha

We went to this park because we we told that the main trail is maintained in winter. The jogging trail was cleared of snow and was almost completely clear. The park was beautiful, there is a long curvy road running next to the central stream. There are lodges for rent, parking areas, also trails that very from easy to hard. Check out the Sand run website to discover some of the really cool historical features of the location.
