Walk with friends (some you haven’t met yet) on the first Wednesday of each month from March through November for a group hike at a Fairfield County Park District, Pickaway County Park District, or a Ross County Park District location.  The first hike in the series of nine walks is at our own Cross Mound Park!

In Cross Mound Park you will find the WPA pedestrian bridge that spans Salt Creek (pictured above).  After crossing the bridge, Cross Mound Trail takes you uphill to historical Cross Mound, along a ridge, then loops downhill back to the bridge.  Weather in early March varies, of course, but you may expect to find some lovely ephemeral spring flowers.

There is a nice picnic shelter and a large mown grassy area where you could play games.  So, if you want to make a day of it, bring a lunch with you and stay a while!
