The Outback Treks are some of the most physically demanding hikes that Lake Metroparks offers. We will go into areas that are typically not open to the public to see some of the hidden treasures in the park so bring along a camera. On the River Road hike there will be some stream crossings along with large hills to climb up and down. Because of this sturdy, waterproof boots are highly recommended. Lunch will be eaten somewhere off in the woods so please pack a lunch and bring plenty of water to drink. Also, since we will be somewhat far from trails and park entrances you will not be able to leave the hike early. This hike typically lasts about 4 hours.
