Dating back to 700 b.c.e., this ancient burial ground is quiet and peaceful. The area had a rich history long before earlier colonizers and settlers moved to the region, and that’s evident when you see this ancient earthwork.
You can’t visit Highbanks Metro Park without taking a stroll along the Overlook Trail. The trail also features some ancient earthworks (an early irrigation system) but most impressively, it boasts some ridiculous views of the Olentangy river from the top of the bluffs.
Along this moderate trail, you’ll find plenty of picture-perfect opportunities. The real gem of this hike is the bridge that crosses a tributary of the Olentangy. In the autumn, it genuinely looks like it hopped right out of Middle Earth.
Fishing is located along the Olentangy River. You’ll find a small dock area where you can cast your line, but it can get a little crowded on good weather days so be sure to plan accordingly.
The park has a 15-acre area set aside for kids can safely explore. The kids are encouraged to participate in unstructured play, allowing them to focus on old-school activities like climbing trees, playing with dirt and sticks, and gaining an appreciation for nature.
There’s nowhere better to learn about the history of the park than the Nature Center. There you can get more information about the bluffs themselves and you’ll also have the opportunity to see wildlife up close as they eat from the feeders around the center.
Of course, sledding is a seasonal activity. But if it’s snowed recently, you can take the kids to enjoy two different sledding hills at Highbanks Metro Park. One of the hills is specifically for kids 10 and under so that everyone can have a safe, enjoyable experience. No matter when you visit Highbanks, you’ll probably be impressed. It’s just that ...
