Morgan Park

Went there for eclipse viewing. Worked great. Not crowded, easy access from and back to interstate highway so was able to leave before traffic got bad. Nice quiet park, great for dog walking. Probably has good birding later in the season, April 8th is somewhat early. Natural park (not built up or with playground area). Permanent restrooms (pit toilet) were clean. About 30 parking spaces should be fine for most cases. A picknic table in the middle of the main field. Gravel main path for nice 30 minute stroll. Some grass paths leading off but I did not explore those. Great place to stretch your legs for 30 minutes or so.

Meadow sucks on a full sunny day but woods are nice. Stopped in July so really buggy. I could see when spring would be a muddy adventure.

Wild and vast... was so damp haf the way bt totally worth it if wanna hav a hard trial

WOW!!! What a GREAT opportunity :-). Our family was driving from NYC to Milwaukee and stopped off for a run. We used the paths (field and woods). The swing a pavilion are wonderful! My wife and I appreciate the pure, clean opportunity for people to experience the outdoors and get some information about soil, bugs, and plants/flowers. Our two children Boy/9 & Girl/7 read and ran to then relax in the swing. THANK YOU :-)

Great walk through restored prairie and hardwood forest

Paved 1 mile walking path. 4.7 total trails, but the back trails get extremely muddy. Dog friendly park on leashes

A really cute easily accessible park. The number of trails in the overall distance was a pleasant surprise.

Nice quick trail, puppies are allowed on leashes but watch for ticks. Ours had them within minutes of being out of the car.

I reviewed 4 years ago and since then they have put in nice bathrooms! Love this place 💓Nice and quiet. Only saw one other person there
The only thing I would say that is negative is there is no bathroom... not even a port-o-potty

Peaceful meadow trail. Gravel trail. Nice vault toilets on site with hand sanitizer.

Only trail section by the parking lot is gravel, the other loops are grass.

Good phone signal throughout park.

Morgan Park is local park here in Shalersville, Ohio (44255 zip code is Mantua, Ohio just north of Shalersville).
Just south of 303 on route 44.

Great park with very few amenities.
Wonderful walking trail in the meadow. Round trip on easy path, about one and half miles total.
With more trails into the woods. Muddy but that is Portage County. Couple miles of woods in the Morgan Preserve with paths and direction markers.
Good couple of hours of hiking, but just walk in one direction and you are out.

My dogs ( both rescues) love it. I take them off leash, but both come to me as soon as they see people to go back on leash.

I have NEVER met a un-nice people at Morgan Park.

Portage County Parks does the maintenance very well.

We are a friendly community that expects you to be responsible for cleaning up your mess.
As an active litter cleanup person, I have only once seen a bag that I had to take to the trash barrel.

There is a small local sawmill (RedGate Sawmill) just down 44 south that is a nice little stop if you are a woodworker.

Fly in to the Portage County Airport.

Most of Shalersville is farms.
North on 44 is locals Rapid Electric, Harper Pump and Well, and just north is Mantua, Ohio. Great little town. 25 mph strictly enforced with people and kids walking around. Oh yea, “distracted driving” is prohibited. (That is a good thing, IMHO.)

Next I will discuss Glazier Trail, the Headlands Trail, and other parts of Portage County.

One last thing, come and visit, cleanup up your mess,
Then go home. I like it here.

I love this place...it's peaceful and quiet

2nd time going there. Easy walking for all ages.

Nice little park, getting better every day.

Totally underrated park, but that's part of the charm. We are usually the only people or maybe one other car there. I love how different the park is during different seasons.

If you like fields, have I got a park for you!

Clean bathrooms, well maintained paths. Very tranquil.

Quiet relaxing walking paths. Clean bathrooms

Nice place to stop and take a break. Beautiful views...

Love the crickets grass hoppers and praying mantis. :)
