Farnsworth Metropark, Protected area along Maumee River in Waterville, Ohio, United States.
The park extends across the western shore of the Maumee River, featuring natural trails, limestone outcrops, and views of Missionary, Butler, and Indian islands.
The Roche de Bout limestone outcrop within the park served as a meeting place for Miami, Shawnee, and Lenape tribes before the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794.
The ruins of the Interurban Bridge, once the largest earth-filled concrete reinforced bridge, stand as a testament to early 20th-century transportation infrastructure.
The park operates daily from 7 AM until dark, offering facilities for hiking, kayaking, fishing, camping, and picnicking along the 8-mile Towpath Trail.
The Bowling Green Fault, the sole fault line around the Great Lakes, runs through the park and becomes visible when the Maumee River water levels drop.
