JOHN BRYAN STATE PARK STORYBOOK TRAIL The John Bryan Storybook Trail was established in the summer of 2020 in John Bryan State Park through the combined efforts of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the Dolly Parton Imagination Library and the Ohio Imagination Library. The trail leads hikers of all ages through the woods on a half-mile loop trail. As hikers walk, they encounter an unfolding story on large panels along the path. The Storybook Trail at John Bryan is located adjacent to the park’s playground, as well as a parking lot and restrooms. The entrance to the trail features a Little Free Library, where park-goers can borrow and donate books. To contact John Bryan State Park, call 937-767-1274. The park is open from dawn until dusk.
