Inn at Honey Run Expands Hiking Trails; Adds New Indigenous Prairie

MILLERSBURG, OH, August 25, 2012 (Press-News.org) The Inn at Honey Run has enhanced its already stunning grounds by extending its hiking trails and adding a new native prairie installation. Both are designed to improve guest experience. The new Purple Trail gives visitors the opportunity to walk around a pond and see native ducks in their natural habitat. The Inn's new Ohio Prairie Installation, expected to be mature by next summer, adds more bird and butterfly habitat, as well as increasing the natural beauty of the inn and giving guests yet another natural spot where they can experience indigenous flora and fauna. Reservations and complete information on the Inn at Honey Run is found at www.innathoneyrun.com or by calling (800) 708-9394.

Adding to Inn at Honey Run's existing trail system, the new Purple Trail offers added hiking that begins at the honeycomb suites, rolls through open grasslands and leads to a wooded trail that circles a pond at the back of the property. The new trail features an elevated resting bench with a wonderful view of the pond. Adding a place to enjoy the Inn's spectacular sunset views, benches located by the pond display a great outlook of the water and abundant wildlife native to northeast Ohio. The new trail, along with a new Ohio Prairie Installation, was developed by Inn at Honey Run Landscape Horticulturalist Ashley Sommers.

"We designed the Ohio Prairie feature to add to the overall beauty of Inn at Honey Run, giving our guests one more place to experience nature," said Sommers. "New native grasses, dozens of annual and perennial wildflowers, bringing beautiful color to the environment. In addition to swaying grasses and wildflowers, guests will enjoy the wildlife, birds and butterflies the prairie pastures attract." Sommers added that the project is ultra-green, requiring no mowing, fertilization or irrigation.
