The Licking Park District maintains over 20 miles of hiking and horseback riding trails not including the T.J. Evans Recreational Trail. These trails are provided for the general public so that they may better enjoy the natural areas we manage. Trail users are required to stay on trails at all times. This is for your safety. Trails are maintained and inspected on a regular basis. If you wander off of the trail you or your horse could fall in a hole, disturb sensitive natural areas, or trespass on private property. In most cases, trails are at least six feet wide and mowed on a regular basis. Woodland trails are narrower and usually unmowed. Trails are marked with post indicators and where needed, painted markings. Straying from designated trails could result in a fine.

With the exception of Infirmary Mound Park, trail maps are marked with numbers that correspond to the trail marker posts. We hope that this adds to your enjoyment of the parks.
