Dover Twp Winding River Park

I've been going to this park since I was a kid so maybe it's nostalgia but I love it. The trail is nice and peaceful considering it's proximity to the highway. It's a small quaint place to have a nice walk. Plenty of benches and places to chill. Paved main trail and plenty of unpaved branches

Some really good off road trails and plenty of black top trails. Have to warn you about the wild life. As I was sitting on the bench in the photo 2 women were passing and said be careful of the snake that's behind you! Being the city boy that I am I jumped up and said snake what snake. They pretty much saw the terror in my face when I saw a big black water snake that was a couple of feet next to me. The snake got scared cause I probably was a little loud thank God and took off. No worries just be careful where you sit. lol

“Right off parkway and 37,easy access, not busy- great for joggers” >>>>THE ONLY REVIEW YOU NEED<<<< JOGGERS - 5 FAMILIES - 3 DOG WALKERS - 2 LOCATION - right near parkway and right off 37 so it is easy to find and has easy access. Lots of parking in multiple lots. The park and walking path are much further back from the sports fields so you are not close to noisy games or lots of people. FEATURES - small playground Benches for lunch Paved Path for walking INFO - Be extremely careful with pets to not let them into the woods or even close to the edge, outside of the path all the woods are EXTREMELY LOADED with THORNS. Because there is basically one path and you can’t get close to the woods, you will cross paths with other dog walkers. The path seems to go pretty far so if you want to go all the way around be prepared to go far. Mileage posts to show you how far you’ve gone. Other than some small trails that go to and from the fields there seems to be only 1 major path. The main path is paved. Because the main path is paved ticks are easier to avoid. Seems well kept Trash cans and benches throughout the entire path and area. DOWNSIDES - 1. All woods loaded with thorns 2. With only 1 path expect to cross paths with other dog walkers.

Updated 8/16/21 This is a beautiful park with a 3.4mi out and back paved path from restroom to restroom. There are benches along the way and a bathroom, playground and covered picnic area at each end. There are no maps or directional signs, but it is fairly obvious which direction to go. Everyone is friendly and will point you in the right direction if needed. Pictures updated for summer. Very beautiful and easy walk or great for you kids on bikes.

I stop in on my way home for some ultralite fishing from time to time. Clean park, great place.

Pleasant place to hike, walk or fish. It is clean with benches so you can have a picnic or just eat lunch. There are baseball fields and open fields too.

Great place to walk. We'll paved path plus little side paths through the woods. The deer must be used to people, they stayed in their grazing areas and just watched us as we walked by.

A great place for a bike ride or a walk and they have a beautiful children's memorial garden tucked away in there as well. Beautiful and sad at the same time!

Great for walking, hiking, biking. And has nice parks from one winding road to the next. Just be sure to save your GPS location cuz it can get confusing going back

Sprawling park that allows you to be forget the outside works for just a little bit as it's parts and playgrounds are secluded in the sense foliage while still providing fun and interaction. The children's Memorial Garden is definitely a quite tranquil place of stunning beauty. My only issue is that you can't drive between the two major sections of park but at the same time this prevents individuals from using it as a short cut.
