The Rookery, Munson, Ohio, Geauga Park District

Yesterday, the temperatures were in the low 80s, perfect for an October walk outdoors to look for autumn color. We visited The Rookery in Munson, Ohio, part of the Geauga Park District. An interurban railway used to pass through this area, the path which now serves as a beautiful trail through the woods. This straight trail provides a wonderful tunnel-like view through the trees. While walking this trail, a large wetland can be viewed, along with a lovely covered bridge which crosses the Chagrin River. A heron rookery is here – hence the park’s name – but is only accessible during special, park-sanctioned programs.

Fall color was just beginning to appear, so there were a few splashes of warm color in the woods. Here are a few photos from our visit.
