Great Oaks Trail
The 0.7-mile trail winds you through a beautiful forest and along Kingfisher Creek.

Harbor Loop Trail
The Harbor Loop Trail is 1.7 miles around the lake and includes two bridges. The trail also extends under Winton Road to the West Loop Trail, which is an additional .9 miles.
The trail passes by the boathouse, which floats because of the lake being used for flood control, and by the campground, which includes 123 camping sites.
You will notice on the hillside near the basketball courts there is an historical marker for the Science Hall School. Built in 1806, it served as the area school for 132 years until 1938, when the Village of Greenhills was created.
Along the trail, you may notice trees that have been gnawed at or bark clippings. This may be the carpentry work of the beavers that reside in the park and enjoy grabbing a tasty meal from the trees along the shore.

The upper section is a relatively young forest and travels along a small seasonal creek.
