Another
great
Summit
MetroPark!
We
were
working
on
the
Fall
Hiking
Spree
and
we
selected
the
Redwing
trail
as
we
wanted
to
hike
a
trail
with
plenty
of
shade!
It
was
a
very
hot
(90
degrees)
day
and
we
weren't
prepared
for
a
very
long
hike.
The
Tuscarawas
area
of
Firestone
MetroPark
is
where
this
trail
is
located.
The
trail
is
rated
easy
and
is
1.1
miles
long.
It
is
mostly
level
with
only
one
hill.
In
fact,
if
you
wanted
to
bypass
the
hill
you
could.
The
hill
is
towards
the
end
of
the
hike
and
instead
of
turning
left,
you
could
go
straight
and
walk
to
the
parking
lot.
The
trail
is
very
scenic
and
goes
along
the
banks
of
the
Tuscarawas
River
for
a
short
distance.
Little
Turtle
Pond
is
also
along
this
tail.
My
son
likes
the
boardwalk
section
the
best.
During
the
wet
seasons,
there
is
usually
water
under
the
boardwalk.
The
Tuscarawas
area
includes
a
shelter,
sled
hill
and
picnic
areas.
Most
of
the
picnic
tables
are
in
shade.
But
they
are
spread
out
and
some
would
take
some
walking
to
get
to.
In
case
you
are
carrying
a
large
cooler.
