About Wolf Run Regional Park

Wolf Run Regional Park consists of over 288 acres of rolling topography and contiguous open space featuring nine miles of nature trails, wetlands, a pond and natural habitats.

A nearly two acre "bark park," a fenced area for dogs to run off leash, was built in April of 2008. The area is located next to the 17621 Yauger Road parking lot. Read the bark park rules before entering the bark park....WOOF!

A kids bouldering area was built in December of 2009 to boost creativity, problem-solving and agility. Kiwanis, Rotary and the Landers Foundation provided local match funds to assist us.

Located one mile east of Mount Vernon on Yauger Road, Wolf Run serves as a convenient place to relax and take in the beauty the Kokosing River valley. Of note is the 30 acre Knox Woods State Nature Preserve, contained within the park’s boundary. View a location map.

The state endangered yellow bellied sapsucker, a small woodpecker, utilizes wooded habitat in the park for foraging and shelter. Granite boulders carried by Ohio’s last ice age 100,000 years ago dot the landscape. Small streams that comprise the headwaters of Wolf Run, which flows to the Kokosing River, grace the landscape with soothing sounds of cascading water.
