The Coupling Reserve

TCR General Information Brochure TCR Reservable Facilities Brochure
Get Directions TCR Canoe Use Brochure

The Coupling Reserve offers rustic, low-cost alternative lodging to youth and family groups in Ohio's historic Firelands. Those looking for a unique overnight experience, which is less weather dependent than tent camping, and which may include a visit from an infrequent mouse or other wildlife, will find this MetroPark a pleasant change of pace. We hope you enjoy your stay!
The Coupling Reserve, which offers public access to the Huron River for small boats and canoes, is also host to a variety of organized programs by Erie MetroParks, such as canoeing and hikes, throughout the year. Visitors are also encouraged to frequent the park to enjoy the beautiful scenery and wildlife on the nature trails, along with the designated picnic and volleyball areas.

The park is open to the public year round from 7 am to dark, although vehicle access is restricted in certain areas during the winter months.  Erie MetroParks also holds organized programs at The Coupling Reserve throughout the year.

Reservations must be made for use of the Depot meeting room, overnight lodging or group canoe use.

Please review the brochures for more detailed information
