The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department's Feature Friday

Each Friday, the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents and visitors to learn more about. This week, we want to tell you about to tell you about the Schueler Woods at Lions Park.

Schueler Woods is located at Lions Park and was named after the family that previously owned the land. A gravel based trail winds through the woods and connects to the rest of the trail system within the park. The park’s total trail length is 1 mile and the Schueler Woods portion makes up for about 0.3 miles of it. A beautiful stone learning circle is located just inside the south entrance and several benches are located along the trail. A portion of the trail was even designed to accommodate the visually impaired so that everyone can enjoy!

The woods are open year round and have something to offer during every season. The colors are a magnificent sight to see during fall and many enjoy snowshoeing over the winter months. During the spring and summer time there is lots of life to be found! You can enjoy listening to the birds sing and observing the other critters that live there too while walking through the woods. Now is a great time to observe the many woodland wildflowers in full bloom.
