The Lake View Trail & Mount Trail at Prairie Oaks Metro Park in Hilliard, Ohio is an easy 1.1 mile one-way trail that passes a lake at Darby Bend Lakes and circles an Indian Mound. The Mound Trail can be found in the northern section of the GPS data - it includes the loop and both spur trails. The Lake Trail is found south of the Mound Trail and continues south until reaching a junction with the Darby Creek Greenway Trail. Dogs are allowed on this trail.
Parking: The parking lot can be found at the coordinates provided; however, the trailhead is listed in the wrong place. You can pick up the trail from the parking lot, but it'll be an out-and-back hike in both directions (north and south) from parking to hike the entire trail.

Our content is and always will be free to use, including interactive trail maps and elevation charts, pictures from the trail, and dope points-of-interest like vistas, overlooks, waterfalls, backcountry campsites, abandoned structures, and more...
So we simply ask that if you find our content helpful or useful when planning your outdoor excursions that you consider making a small donation to help keep our lights on.
