Explorers Series
FREE Guided Excursions. Appropriate for ALL AGES.
Get to know backtrails and backstories of Geauga County park lands managed by township, county, and other agencies. From recreation to restoration to preservation and more, there's so much to explore!
The Explorers Series was established so park lovers may gather each month to explore a different park in Geauga County. Each outing provides a fun way to get outdoors, meet new people, and learn more about the natural, historic, and cultural beauty of our county.
Activity levels vary and may last up to two hours. Most are led by a trained naturalist or other knowledgeable individuals who share their insights. Activities take place rain, snow, or shine.
