Richard Mihous Nixon #37th President. In the year of our Lord One Thousand Sixty-Nine, along with the Flower Power Age. Where peace, music and love made a difference!
There are four different entrances to Reagan Park. And they all lead to the center or core of this very useful recreational area. This park is 226 acres.

It has mountain biking trails to bike for. Anyone who enjoys mountain biking this is it. This is one of the 11 parks the City of Medina has.

Directions:
You are going to use the entrance off of Weymouth Road or better known as Route #3. There will be a colorful playground close to the gated parking lot. There is also main entrance at Bowman St., marked with a Green Sign and the word Reagan. You can use that one too. It will take you to the core of the Park. But you want to use the parking lot before or after that main entrance it is about 100 feet east of Bowman Street.

Let us begin. Park your car in the parking lot by the colorful playground. Check for your supplies. You will need a compass, pen and Stamp Ink, (I would suggest taking two to three colors, black and yellow or orange or both. It will make your stamp look extra special) your log book and anything else of use. Water Bug Spray etc.

Clues:

There is a Baseball Field at the end of this parking lot. Step onto the Asphalt and walk to your left. Follow this path down over the hill. It will take you into the core of the Park. You will walk right by a bathroom. If you look to the left and across the creek you will see a Skateboard Arena by a brick building and a Radio-Controlled Car Track. That is just extra FYI. You are going to the right and Follow the Asphalt towards the Pavilion.

Pass the Pavilion and Walk up the path and follow the Lamp Post Lights, to the 16th one. You will be coming towards the end of the asphalt path. This will be Reagan Road. On your left, U will see the last bike path before you get to the fences; this is the “Crooked Trail of Nixon”.

Was he really “The Trickster”, “Tricky Dick”, “Iron Butt”, or was he just a scapegoat. Follow this trail for more of a history lesson at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Nixon

Follow this trail; you will know you are on the right path when you see the Post with the red band carved with a hiker. Follow this trail. For a crooked bit. You will cross of a super mini bike bridge, keep going, you pass another post mark with red and a craved arrow, you should be very close to the School on your right. You are going to go around a sharp switchback and you will see this huge tree. I mean big. On the Easterly side of the tree, is the treasure you are looking for. About 4 feet up.
Nixon never admitted to criminal wrongdoing, although he later conceded errors of judgment. On November 17, 1973, at a televised question and answer session with the press, Nixon said, “People have got to know whether or not their President is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook. I've earned everything I've got”. He was the only President to resign.

You may keep waking the trail until it takes you back up to the top and back to the asphalt. Or you can take the trail you crossed over about 20 feet back the way you came, that too will take you back up the parking lot.

Thank you for sharing your time and hobby with me. Have a great hike. Kelmark.


Hike length: 1 mile
