The northern section of Metea Park is mostly flat packed trails, but it is a little more wild than the southern section. The many interconnecting paths and nontechnical terrain make this is a great place for easy trail running. There may be a cash-only park use fee.

If you look you will notice that all the trees near the trailhead are planted in rows, many of them oak and maple.

The park has a use fee, cash or check only. From the trailhead you have access to the Nature Center, which has public restrooms, and five miles of trails along Cedar Creek and the pond. The trails here in the southern section of the park are packed dirt and very runnable — the northern section of the park is slightly more rugged.

Across Cedar Creek on the southern tip of the peninsula is Sugar Beach, which is owned and taken care of privately but often open to visitors who call in ahead of time.

Cedar Creek is the largest tributary of the Maumee River. The path runs right along the creek in many places, and there are benches tucked away in the forest along the shoreline.
