    Great park with two major trails. Total, just under 5 miles. Both trails take you through the forest, enjoy hiking over streams crossings, bridges and stairs. The hills can get muddy and bring bug spray 🦟 Restroom on sight

    Seriously beautiful! But don't go after a rain, it's incredibly muddy and wet. The 3 mile hike is intense and steep at times!

    Awesome trails! We saw a snake, frogs, baby squirrels, and a lot of birds. The creek is part of trail so be prepared to cross it a few times. Don’t worry there are rocks and other little bridges to get you through.

    Fantastic Metro Park for a great family outing. Hampton Hills has two hiking trails. Both involve allot of hills to climb! So be prepared. Most of the trails are in the woods. But there are a couple of meadows along the Adams Run trail to enjoy. The park also includes a small picnic area and an archery range nearby. We choose the Adams Run trail. It is a little over three miles. But it is one of my favorite trails in the Summit Metro Parks. Plenty of switch backs, water crossings and bridges. Quite allot to see along the way. I especially like it after some rain as there is allot of water in the ravines.

    This place has great trails and is absolutely gorgeous! I truly enjoyed my hike here and spent about 3 hours exploring its beauty! I do plan to return to explore the rest of what this park has to offer!

    Took the red leaf marker trail that is 1.9M with a 3 year old. The child had a blast but needed carried after 1 mile it's also around the point the trail became narrower and steep with steep hill sides. If you like ferns this trail has a plethora to look at. It was nice and shaded and not very busy at all. The wife enjoyed the erosion in the sense it looked cool not that erosion is a good thing.

    Hiked the Adam Run Trail loop and it was a beautiful hike! Lots of views along the way, ups and downs, and some switchbacks. Well marked, we parked at the Archery parking area and entered the trail from there. Had a great time and will definitely be back again!

    It's a beautiful and more rugged hike than I expected to find in the area, although I got caught in the rain just past halfway through so that may have made this a more difficult hike than it normally is. But regardless of difficulty, the scenery is beautiful and changes between heavy forest, large hills, and an open field. My only complaint is the last quarter of it is alongside a very busy road, just to ensure all the relaxation you achieved earlier on the hike is gone before you even get into the car. Still, thanks to how beautiful it was until then and how nice it was to find a long hike with some serious hills, as well as how overall it's still quieter than most trails I've found around the area, I feel compelled to give it a higher score than I'd normally give something that close to a road.

    Beautiful park with several rivers. Unpaved trails. Be warned however; the inclines are steep and there are plenty of them! It’s a two-ish mile hike, but it will be a challenge! Some people had dogs and kids, but it’s not wheelchair friendly.

    Honestly a beautiful trail year round. In the warmer months you'll want to bring bug spray as the mosquitoes are rough here. After it rains the streams get very full and can be impassable if you're not willing to get your shoes/boots soaked (I recommend hiking boots for dry and wet because of uneven ground i.e. roots and indentations in the mud). There are also a few hills here that are quite steep so that is something to keep in mind. If these things aren't a problem at all for you then you will absolutely LOVE this trail.

    This is a great park for a bit more challenging hike. There are some steeper, rocky hills to climb. It says the trail is 3 plus miles but we were never able to rack up 3 miles on our trackers. It is a packed dirt trail but there are some very muddy areas.

    Well maintain trails, 1.9 or 3.2 mile trails. Each trail has one good size hill to climb. After a good rain there are some muddy spots.

  • 5/5 John G. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice wooded trail with some hills. You'll have to do a few stream crossings and go through a muddy field if it's rained recently, so I'd recommend waterproof shoes. Options for 1.8 and 3.2 mile loops.

👍👍 Hands down one of the best walking, garden, and scenery parks in Ohio! Today as I was meditating sitting on a rock; I started to cry. Nature really soothes your soul and helps rid your spirit from all the toxins of life. Now, I’m not saying your gonna need Kleenex- my jacket sleeve worked just fine...
