KNOX COUNTY PARK DISTRICT

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.
