Metroparks Kids Hiking Club: By Kids For Kids (All Ages, Dog Friendly)

Kids lead the way at this unique hiking adventure, where two young naturalists—9-year-old Georgia and 8-year-old Ellie—guide the group on an exploration of the outdoors. This program puts kids in charge, making it a refreshing take on traditional nature outings. You can expect to search for frogs, toads, and insects along the trail, with the added bonus of wading in the Maumee River if you'd like to cool off at the end. The outing welcomes children of all ages and is dog-friendly, so your family pet can join in on the adventure. It's perfect for kids who love getting their hands dirty, discovering wildlife, and experiencing nature through a peer's perspective. Meeting at the Riverview Parking Lot, this is an informal way to spend time outdoors while letting your kids connect with local habitats and perhaps inspire a newfound interest in the natural world.
