Visitors can traverse a boardwalk through the Honda Wetlands Area or climb a 25-foot observation tower to see waterfowl and other animals. Walk, jog or bike the paved 3 mile Marshhawk trail, or the paved 2.5 mile Ironweed trail (not a loop so out and back is 5 mile

What's going on at Glacier Ridge?

You may have noticed our one way signs up at Glacier Ridge. We normally set this up for large programs, but to offer more parking consistently we are leaving it up for the summer!

You can follow the signs for each parking lot and park on the left if a parking lot gets filled.

Give our rangers a call if you any assistance! 614-216-8859
