 Two State Parks
are the highlights of this section. West Branch
State Park circles the western edge of the Michael J. Kirwan reservoir.
Lots of older hardwoods, rolling terrain and peaceful creeks are the course
of your travel. Use Knapp road (White Blazed) to complete a 8.3 mile circuit
hike of this area. Quail Hollow
State Park also has many interesting old hardwood acres. It became
a State Park in 1975 because of its diverse wet habitat and tall grass prairie.
The herb and flower garden is a favorite spot for hikers. The 8.5 miles of the
Buckeye Trail along the Mogadore reservoir is a favorite of many hikers.
Its relatively flat course through lush pines and fine fishing spots is a great
way to spend an afternoon. The Goodyear Airship Hanger at Wingfoot lake is a
mighty structure that houses the Spirit of Akron blimp. The site of this
blimp overhead and practicing take-off and landings is a common site while hiking
the Mogadore section. The section ends just west of Quail Hollow State Park
in the town of Hartville. Be sure to stop at the chocolate factory 10
feet from the trail and reward yourself with these homemade goodies. The trail
leaves Hartville in the Massillon Section.
