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 another spot at Lions Park that we love!

Schueler Woods is located at Lions Park and is named after the family who 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 overall trail length within Lions Park is approximately 1 mile and the Schueler Woods section makes up about 0.3 miles of it. There are several benches located along the trail as well as a beautiful stone learning circle is located just inside the south entrance of the woods. A portion of the trail was even designed to accommodate the visually impaired so that everyone can enjoy the area!

During the summer and spring months, many enjoy listening to the birds and observing the critters while walking through the woods and in the winter, it’s a great place for some snowshoeing or brisk winter walk. But our favorite time of the year to visit Schueler Woods is in the fall when the leaves are changing colors and falling from the trees!
