Your Darke County Parks Are Open
During the winter months, it is important to still take the time to get
outside. Spending time outdoors is proven to be beneficial to your
mental and physical health.
One tool that the people of Darke County have at their disposal is the
Tecumseh Multi-Use trail. This mostly paved trail stretches from
downtown Greenville to the village of Bradford, a total of
approximately 14 miles. While many regularly use the trail for biking
and walking, traffic typically slows down on the trail during the
winter months.
There is a unique portion of trail near Gettysburg that is left natural
and not plowed during periods of snowfall. This portion of the trail
can be used for winter activities such as cross-country skiing and
winter hiking. Other portions of the trail in Greenville, the “Jim
Buchy Mile”, from Alice Bish through the Greenville City park and
ending at North Broadway are plowed and cleared to allow winter
walking.
Darke County Parks Director, Roger Van Frank stated, “Especially during
this period of the Covid 19 Pandemic we recognize the importance that
parks and trails make to the health of families in our communities.
Remember the Benefits of Parks and Recreation are Endless!”.
