Hiking & Walking

Hundreds of miles of hiking trails cross the more than 25,000 acres of Cleveland Metroparks. Trails exist in every reservation with a variety of vistas and terrains, and can be located by contacting a Cleveland Metroparks naturalist at one of the five nature centers.

Participate in the Trail Challenge presented by MetroHealth

Take a walk along one of the many hiking trails in Cleveland Metroparks to enjoy nature at your own pace. You can view the Henry Church Rock carvings in South Chagrin Reservation; enjoy the convenient loop trail to Buttermilk Falls in North Chagrin Reservation, explore Fort Hill on the trails behind Rocky River Nature Center in Rocky River Reservation; walk across historic bridges in Garfield Park Reservation; or take in the historic sites of Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation.

Cleveland Metroparks trails connect regionally to the Buckeye Trail, a trail circumnavigating Ohio for 1,444 miles. The Buckeye Trail, marked with 2” x 6” baby blue blazes on trees, makes its way into Cleveland Metroparks starting in Hinckley Reservation. From there, it follows roads to get to Brecksville Reservation where it splits in three directions at Deer Lick Cave. If you follow the trail east, it will continue into Cuyahoga Valley National Park. If you follow it north, it will take you through Bedford Reservation, South Chagrin Reservation, and North Chagrin Reservation. If you continue beyond Cleveland Metroparks, it will take you to Lake Erie.
