About Wolf Run Regional Park

Wolf Run Regional Park consists of over 288 acres of rolling topography and contiguous open space featuring five 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 Yauger Road parkling lot. WOOF!

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.

Archery enthusiasts, by permit only, will be assisting the park district with deer herd management, commencing September 28, 2009. Archery participants will use Wolf Run only on weekdays. Archery hunters are not allowed to pursue their sport on weekends. Gun hunting is prohibited at the park.

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.
