RICHFIELD, Ohio -- Thousands of daffodils, including dozens of varieties, are expected to be at or near peak bloom by this weekend along the H.S. Wagner Trail in Furnace Run Metro Park in Richfield.

The bloom will continue through the middle of next week, according to a Summit Metro Parks spokeswoman.

The .6-mile daffodil trail is named for Harold S. Wagner, the first director of Summit Metro Parks who planted the first bulbs there in the late 1930s.

Spring has sprung at Furnace Run Metro Park in Richfield where thousands of daffodils are in bloom.

The trail at 3100 Brush Road has a gravel parking lot limited to about 10 cars. The park encourages visitors to be patient and go on weekdays before 4 p.m. There are three picnic tables and a restroom near the start of the trail.
