Beautiful rustic trails! Hike either the lake trails, or the ledge trails! Giant boulders to climb around and on, with unique foliage, and roots! Breathtaking either in the summer or fall!
A beautiful section of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. A few different hiking trails – some connect to other parts of the park and you can get a really long hike in if you desire. Beautiful lake and shelters built by the Civilian Conversation Core. Great sledding hill in the winter.
I came here to spend the afternoon with my friend, and it was the most enjoyable time I’ve had in months. The scenery is fantastic, the walking paths are great, and there’s enough variety as you walk around that you can’t get bored. The facilities were well maintained, and parking was easy to find.
My only complaint is that there’s not a lot of seating on paths, so if you don’t have a lot of stamina or if you have health issues, you might need to pack a lawn chair.
What a fantastic gem! So many trails and gorgeous ledges!! Over 320 million years old, just unbelievable.
This place gets filled fast, and so worth it too. Many trails to choose from. These are marked stay on the trails, these are not wheelchair accessible.
Pets are welcome but must be leashed & be responsible and pet up after your pets.
Great place to bring the kiddos and let them explore (supervised).
Definitely bring your trekking poles, wear proper shoes, dress accordingly the temperature is roughly 10 – 15 degrees cooler.
Check the website for any cave closure or trail closure so you are not caught off guard.
Park rangers are trekking about if you need assistance.
Picnic tables and WC’s are available.
Grab your shoes, poles & water and #gooutside!!
Nice comfortable path wide enough for two. Several bridges to cross. 3.5 mile hike plus many more trails. Fantastic ledges to explore for any age. Spend your day taking in the beauty of nature. 3 very nice routes you can take. There is even a connecting trail to take you over to Ledges area
