The Marsh Hawk Trail at Glacier Ridge Metro Park in Plain City, Ohio is an easy 5 kilometer loop trail that runs around the park and passes through woods and fields. The trail head can be found anywhere along the parking area, and the trail heads off in various directions. The loop in Yellow color in the below map is the 5k Marsh Hawk Trail.
All these great work would not have been possible without the support and generosity of people like you. To better plan and to reduce food waste (so that we can send more $$ to the cause), please click here to register for the Walkathon if you have not already done so.
