Englewood Hike - Slow Paced

Time to hike with Mountain Laurel at beautiful Englewood MetroPark. We will hike about 6 miles with options to quit after 3, 4 or 5 miles. The hiking speed is 2 to 2.5 mph. We will hike by 3 waterfalls. Dress for the weather, wear hiking boots or shoes, bring water, a snack and hiking poles if you have them.

Description of the Park: Englewood MetroPark is home to three waterfalls: Martindale, Patty and Oaks. Treat yourself to a hike on the green trail and discover Martindale Falls, a breathtaking view of a limestone and shale ridge top, which plunges into a wide, rocky undercut ravine. Continue your hike across Patty Falls, named for the Patty family who settled nearby. Here you’ll see the wide rocky wet weather falls along with a side cascade that merrily trickles all year long. Follow the trail across Patty Road for a view of the smaller Oaks Falls. The green trail loop also takes you along the Stillwater River.
