Twin Creek MetroPark is the place to go if you want to get away from the crowds in the summer. It is one of our most expansive and untouched natural parks and is not unusual for visitors to take a long hike without seeing another person. Natural secession of plants in parts of the park provide ideal habitat for prairie warblers, catbirds and yellow-breasted chats. Those who want to ride their horses in the park will find an excellent system of bridle trails along the scenic Twin Creek. If you are interested in history, try exploring the well-hidden, 2000-year-old Hopewell Culture earthworks in the cool forests of the park. An interpretive sign can be found near the earthworks to help you find and identify them. |
