Ramble Quest – A journey with a mission

Earn a unique hiking stick medallion. Come take a stroll on our trails through the rustling forest and prairie. If you feel adventurous, walk along the lazy river or past a rushing waterfall. What a great way to experience the various habitats right here in our Miami County Parks. Your challenge is to walk all 25 miles in our 12 Miami County Parks and earn a hiking stick medallion.

Go to that park with your map and a crayon or pencil to make your rubbing at the station. Feel free to use the back of the map.

Walk the trails to find all the stations on the map. Please be sure to stay on the trails!

Make a rubbing at each station. The rubbings must be recognizable and they must be an actual rubbing.

Traced outlines will NOT be accepted.

Save all the rubbings from each park you visit.

When you complete all the rubbings at each of the 12 Miami County Parks call our office at (937) 667-1286 to set up a time to collect your medallion! Congratulations you have just traveled over 25 miles of trails.  Medallions will be given out until all prizes have been awarded.

Every month we will introduce another park into the program and a map will be posted with the rubbing station locations. A map will also be posted here. Once it is posted here you may visit that park in any month and collect your rubbings. You can participate in this program at your own pace. Feel free to do as many parks as you want in a month.

Its all up to you !    Happy Hiking.
