Carriage Hill Lake

Ohio History

Across Cedar Lake

Besides the farm, Carriage Hill Metropark also has a few other things worth seeing. This 14-acre lake is always blue and peaceful; you can enjoy it from a gravel path along the shore, or relax on the rustic wooden boardwalk. One time we even saw a bunch of ducks in the water near the boardwalk. For the hiker, there are plenty of trails to explore, covering prairies, woodlands, and open grasslands. You can also ride horses on certain trails, go fishing, have a picnic, or even go camping. One of my favorite landmarks is that windmill across the lake--you can walk right up to it on one of the trails! So, you see, Carriage Hill isn't all history!
