Fallen Timbers Battlefield Metropark — Attraction in Maumee

Nice little place in general. It has a 1.5 mile walking track that is well cared for. GPS confirms the stated 1.5 mile loop. Pets allowed on leash, no bikes allowed. Though, curiously, the visitor center has a bike self repair station out front even though both the big map and the sign at the front of the trailhead both read "no bikes".

The trail itself is decent, and includes very nice benches and many placards with historical information about the area, the battlefield, the battle, and the people involved, spread out through the loop. I will say, the front half of the trail, nearest the visitor center, is a quite nice walk through the woods. However, the back half is another story entirely.

Then I saw a Metropark and been created...and on top of that a lot of bew archeological work had been done and found the actual battlefield!! And some great men, women and organizations spent so much effort, time and money into preserving this awesome and significant site to American and Ohio history!!!...

Unfortunately, there is no visitor center. No one was around to help with any issues or give any information. There was a board behind the “future visitor center” but the stamp had been stolen. Of course, if it was in a building or with a ranger, this would not have happened. Now, the park was nicely kept. There was some information on the board that told a little of the story of the area. The walking trail was nice, muddy but that was ok because it had been pouring rain that morning. If I’m ever in Toledo again, I may stop back but disappointed in the...
