Medina County Park District’s self-guided hiking program, Trekking Through Autumn, is the perfect opportunity for families and individuals to get out and experience the crisp days and spectacular colors of fall.

Back for its 20th year, Medina County Park District’s popular annual hiking program offers participants the opportunity to enjoy the splendor of the season and earn awards by completing at least eight designated hikes between September 1 and November 30. Hikers complete the walks at their own pace and on their own schedules.

Trekking Through Autumn offers a choice of 12 parks and nature preserves that show off the beauty and natural diversity of Medina County. To participate, pick up a Trekking Through Autumn form at Medina County Park District Headquarters, Oenslager Nature Center, or click HERE to download the form.

•Free for all Medina County residents (except Hinckley* residents)

•Out-of-county residents and Hinckley* residents pay $12 for the backpack and $3 for the hiking pins (cash or check only).

•First-year hikers earn a backpack.

•Veteran hikers earn a pin (pins are not available for first-year hikers).

*Hinckley residents’ property taxes support Cleveland Metroparks, not Medina County Park District. That is the reason why those residents pay fees for rewards.
