Clear Creek Metro Park
8.8 Miles from Middlefork Ridge
Suggested Duration: 1-2 hours
Various connected trails wind through meadows, steep ravines, rock outcroppings and cliff faces. Plants such as Hemlocks and ferns can be found in the cool ravines while the hillsides are covered with oak forests. Open fields on the ridgetops and in the valley provide habitat for meadow plants and animals, and wetlands along the creek create homes for sycamore trees and waterfowl. Trails range from easy to moderate.
