Welcome
to our website. If you're looking to explore the great outdoors,
you've come to the right spot. Knox County Park District's parks,
water trails and area bike trails provide the public with an abundance
of nature activities such as hiking, fishing,
canoeing, biking, and picnicking, as well as meaningful educational
experiences. Thanks to Knox County voters passing a modest parks
and trails levy in 2008, new programs and parks and progress has
been made on developing 16-mile Heart of Ohio Trail.
The
purpose of Knox County Park District is to acquire, conserve and
manage Knox County natural resources in a manner that preserves
the rural character of the county, while protecting the county's
unique historical and natural resources. We
hope you enjoy our site and leave with an appreciation for what
many of our residents and visitors already realize—Knox
County Park District is a great place to live and visit.
