Over ten miles of trails provide access to most areas of the park. The large number of evergreens attract Red-breasted Nuthatches, Purple Finches, Pine Siskins, and an occasional Crossbill. Germantown MetroPark is one of the best places in the area to see Summer Tanagers. The Nature Center is underground, with a window for viewing birds and other wild animals that regularly visit the feeders provided by the staff. Trails are marked with color-coded posts.
Many trails are loops.
Follow the same color posts and you will end your hike where you started. A brochure with park information, including a map, is available at the Visitors Center. Hours are 8 am to dusk daily.
