Chestnut Ridge Metro Park

Chestnut Ridge Metro Park Chestnut Ridge is the first ridge in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The ridge spans about 4,500 feet and rises to about 1,116 feet.

Black oak, shagbark hickory and northern red oak trees grow on the upper slopes of the ridge and enhance the woodland beauty of the 486-acre park. Sugar maples and American beech are plentiful on the lower slopes.

Spring is blooming! These photos were taken on the Ridge Trail, between the first parking lot (Sandstone Lot) and bottom of the hill where Homesite and Meadows Trails begin. And around 35 species of birds were heard in this section of the trail!

We're in for a cold snap, but be sure to get out and explore The Ridge. Feel free to share what you're seeing out in the park!
