Cabin fever hike

BEAVERCREEK — Bundle up and join the Beaver Creek Wetlands Association for a winter hike at Oakes Quarry Park 1 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 18.

Oakes Quarry Park was created on land previously mined for limestone and donated to the City of Fairborn in 2003. The hiking trail takes you back 440 million years when this area was a coral reef in a shallow sea. In addition to interesting fossils and wetlands, this area is home to woodland and grassland birds, deer, fox and coyote.

The park is located on State Route 235, just east of the Interstate 675 overpass. Hiking shoes/boots are advised. For more information call 937-320-9042 or contact [email protected].
