Huron River Greenway MetroPark
The Huron River Greenway MetroPark is a linear park under development featuring a multiuse trail constructed primarily on inactive railroad right-of-way along the east bank of the Huron River and was built, for some of its length, on the historic Milan Canal and Towpath. It provides a safe, viable alternative to hikers and bicyclists while allowing them to enjoy the area’s history and nature. Currently, visitors may access the trail from River Road at DuPont Marsh State Nature Preserve (by the water tower). The trail is open from that point southward approximately 1.2 miles to River View Drive.
The Huron River Greenway MetroPark is open 365 days a year from 7 am-dusk. Running through some of the earliest settled areas of the historic Ohio Firelands, the Greenway MetroPark is a linear park that features a multi-use trail constructed on an inactive railroad corridor and roadsides along the east bank of the Huron River. Made of crushed, compacted limestone, the trail, which still has portions under construction, is designed for use by walkers, joggers and bicyclists, while still maintaining habitat for many species of wildlife, flowers, trees and birds. Manual and motorized wheelchairs are welcome, but other types of motorized vehicles are not permitted.
The Greenway MetroPark will steadily be improved so visitors should use caution as occasional construction vehicles contractors may be present during weekday business hours. Visitors may not trespass on private property surrounding the trail. This also includes areas that are closed or under construction
