Wildwood Willie’s Groundhog Day forecast was accurate: We have, indeed, had six more weeks of winter since February 2. Right on cue, March roared in like a lion with a blast of cold air. And Maumee River ice was still piled high at Side Cut even as fishermen were getting antsy for the start of the spring Get walleye run. We deserve the break that spring will bring. Soon, the songs of the warblers will return, green leaves will sprout and the trails will be Outside bustling again. If you are ready to shake the winter blahs and Get Outside Yourself, here are a few sug- gestions for those first spring weekends. Visit Howard Marsh. The newest Yourself. Metropark, not yet a year old, has a 1,000- foot boardwalk through the marsh and six miles of hiking trail. Last year, it quickly became a must-see destination for birders because of the variety of shorebirds it attracted. Hit the trials, especially one you haven’t hiked or biked before. A 1.4-mile stretch of the Chessie Circle Trail in South Toledo opened last year. The Moseley Trail, which will be dedicated in April, is even newer. The two-mile trail connects Secor and Wiregrass Lake Metroparks. Attend a program. Kayaking, tree climbing, nature walks for all ages and other programs are a great way to get into the swing of spring and enjoy the best of what the Metroparks has to offer.
