The Serpent Mound is easy to observe up close. There is a blacktopped sidewalk on the perimeter of the mound. The paved path makes walking the perimeter easy and the path is wheelchair accessible. If you are inclined to gain a higher perspective, there is a 32 foot tall stair stepped platform. It’s a free feature to use at the park and it provides a terrific perspective of the Serpent Mound. There are trails to view the other smaller mounds in the park along with the surrounding vistas!

The park is an incredible piece of Ohio history and is a perfect day trip from Butler County Ohio!
