Features & History

Beginning in 2003, a group of Avon Lake residents began discussing the preservation of a large tract of forest land in their city. Thus, “Save the Woods” was born, and over the next few years, an agreement between “Save the Woods”, the City of Avon Lake and the Metro Parks brought to fruition the creation of another beautiful Metro Park. In the summer of 2008, development of trails began and on November 8, 2008, Kopf Family Reservation officially opened to the public. It was named after local builder/developer Herman “Bucky” Kopf for his gracious donation of 68 acres of the 162-acre park. More trails have been added since then, bringing the trail to over 3 miles.
