On Monday, August 11, contractors for the Ohio Department of Transportation will begin paving Park Road 3, which is located off Park Road 2 and connects to the Lake Trail trailhead.
The road will be closed for approximately seven days, and as Park Road 3 is a dead-end road, there will be no detour.
