    Hiking

    Trexler Memorial Park is delightful, with Little Cedar Creek flowing through the grounds, creating a lovely central pond. It features 2.5 miles of hiking trails and is a popular location for hikers, runners, and dog walkers. The main loop trail is about a mile long, or you can combine it with other well-marked trails for an extended hike. It's the perfect location to enjoy a shorter hike and immerse yourself in nature.
