Dorlon Golf Club

Almost a mile and a half , looped trail. A little muddy in spots. Nice ponds, Great place to walk the dogs. Parking lot (muddy) will hold about 15 cars,

What a great new reservation in Columbia Station! It’s still maturing and will probably be even better in a few years, but a wonderful place for birding & wildlife watching. On my last visit (an early morning in July), I encountered 40+ bird species and at least a dozen Eastern Cottontail rabbits…super cute! Other reviewers have mentioned ticks, but I’ve visited several times and haven’t encountered any (I wear plenty of bug spray and stick to the center of the trail as much as possible though). There’s also something extremely satisfying & maybe just a little eerie about seeing an old golf co…

Opened in Summer 2024 a new park. Half the trail is a paved road the remainder is crushed limestone. Will improve as nature takes it's course.

An excellent place to be serenaded by Song Sparrows, Common Yellowthroats, and Indigo Buntings. The complete walking loop is 1.5 mi, including the parking lot connector, roughly half gravel and half paved. It's wide, flat, and even. Yes, I'm sure there are ticks in the grass, this is Ohio, but now that the paths are complete you can easily just stay out of the grass, and you won't see any. Since the park is relatively new, ther…
