LISTENING WALK IN METEA COUNTY PARK SOUTH

Metea County Park is a 250-acre park in north central Allen County, Indiana with 5 miles of trails. A portion is dedicated as Meno-ahi State Nature Preserve. North and South Park areas are separated by Cedar Creek, a state designated scenic river. There are mature forests, wetlands, and prairies with many scenic river overlooks. 

​

There are many sounds you may hear at Metea Park. There are a wide variety of birds singing, insects buzzing, and frogs peeping. You can hear water rushing down Cedar Creek and squirrels rustling in the leaves. Experience the world through your ears and let it leave you with a sense of calm -- a "green mind."

​

Enjoy a self-guided listening walk in nature. Walk to each listening post and listen to nature. Explore the mapped-out sounds of the forest below, recorded using different microphones, with your mobile device and headphones. Learn about sounds and access the sound library. Learn new things about the park at each stop.
