Geauga Gems Trekking Series

Start 2023 strong by enrolling in a hiking program that will get participants outdoors throughout the seasons to explore some of the best trails Geauga Park District has to offer.

The fourth annual Geauga Gems Trekking Series features a twist on previous years. Instead of 30 hikes, park district naturalists have selected a variety of trails optimal for exploration each season. Select a minimum of four hikes to complete each season from a list of six trail recommendations, one’s personal favorite trail or a naturalist-led hike of one’s choosing, totaling 16 hikes at the end of the year.

Complete all of the seasonal hikes by the end of the year to earn a trekking pole and an exclusive commemorative Geauga Gems sticker.

Registrants will receive a link to a printable card to keep track of their progress throughout the year or pick up a card at The West Woods Nature Center or Big Creek Park’s Meyer Center.

Spontaneous Snowshoeing

Sign up for text alerts for spontaneous naturalist-led snowshoe adventures when weather conditions are just right. Just text “SNOW” to 844-985-3576.

Each text will include further instructions to register for that specific program, with space limited by our number of snowshoes. Programs may be any time, day or evening, at any Geauga Park District parks depending on snow conditions. Borrow the park district’s snowshoes or bring your own.
