Synopsis
Lindner Park at the McCullough Estate is a well-maintained little gem tucked away on the northern side of Norwood near Pleasant Ridge. The highlight of this park is it's historical structures: a huge stone swimming pool, bath house made of cypress logs, a foot bridge that looks like it came from a fairy tale, and others, including the McCullough home. The trails are fairly easy and the whole park can be explored in a couple of hours. Besides the wooded setting, there is an open area containing picnic tables, a small formal garden, and lovely fish pond the kids will love. The Norwood Historical Society holds meetings at the McCullough home and the Drake Planetarium hosts outdoor learning labs at the park for schools and groups. There are several very impressive tall trees on this property to marvel at!

ReplyDeleteHi Jonathan! I found the bridges along the path that is behind the house. You can find a trailhead beside the restrooms (near the parking area). Or, you can start the hike by crossing through the picnic area and follow the trail as it goes left, looping around and ending back at the restrooms. Keep in mind, it's been a few years since I have visited the park. Thanks for checking my blog. Unfortunately, I've been unable to keep it up, but hope to get back to nature blogging when I have more free time. Enjoy your hike!
DeleteThanks for this!
