Blacklick Woods Canopy Walk is a unique experience in a Metro Park. Rising 40 feet into the air, the boardwalk is a one-eighth-mile loop around the treetops.
Located in Blacklick Woods Metro Park in Reynoldsburg, central Ohio, the canopy walk is constructed with more than 250 telephone poles supporting the structure for its one-eighth of a mile length.
There are 72 steps on a zigzag staircase to get to the boardwalk, but there is also a tower with an elevator, making it ADA accessible. Another 27 steps will take visitors to an observation deck 55 feet above ground level.
Blacklick Woods Canopy Walk affords amazing views of beech-maple forest and parkland. Get up close to the birds, including Blue-Headed Vireo, Blackburnian Warbler, and Red-Bellied Woodpecker. Special bird feeders keep the birds interested in the area.
Let the kids play, or simply relax on the hammock-style giant cargo net that can host up to five people at a time.
There are three rope bridges for adventurous kids and adults, a fireman’s pole, and a fun treehouse to play in.
The canopy walk is open every day of the year with occasional closures for maintenance and cleaning. It is completely free to use.
