Highbank Park Earthworks

Historical landmark

👍👍 It's neat to imagine living in a little village tucked between the earthworks and the bluff. Must have been a beautiful place to live. And when you think of the tools they were working with, that's a lot of dirt to move!

    My favorite Columbus metro park because of the different types of hikes available, and the view of the river from the overlook. The Overlook Trail has some steep-ish hills, and the best view in the park. Definitely read the signs along the way to learn the history of the area. At the overlook, you can sit and enjoy the late afternoon sun, the view from high above the river, and maybe spot a bald eagle. The dog trail is decent, but prepare to get seriously muddy if it's been wet recently. The path by the river is shady and serene. The picnic areas and playgrounds are in good repair. In the winter, there's a sledding hill as well. If you live in Central Ohio, you owe yourself a visit. Really, more than one.

    They have easy walking paths, things seem as they would in nature and not so manicured. We saw so many amazing Critters on top of the beautiful Eagles that it was just a beautiful day. The trails are marked well and it is definitely worth the drive to enjoy a nice day Outdoors no matter how young or old.

    Love Highbanks! Got to see a lot more of it today because I didn't have my dog with me ( my only complaint about highbanks is that there's a lot of nice trails that they just won't let you bring your dog on). It was a beautiful day weather-wise and the Autumn foliage was in full bloom.

    Highbanks Metro Park is the best park in the Columbus, Ohio area for a good walk or long trail run.
