Blendon Woods Metro Park

Spectacular stream cut ravines surrounded by beech-maple and oak-hickory forests highlight this 654-acre Metro Park. The 118-acre Walden Wildlife Refuge with its 11-acre Thoreau Lake provides a sanctuary for hundreds of birds and other wildlife. The refuge is open year-round and features two elevated observation shelters with spotting scopes for viewing waterfowl. More than 220 species of birds have been sighted at the park.
