Nice lake near Berea. Swim, picnic, fish, or just walk on the trails. Head north, about 2 miles on the trails, and treat yourself to Berea Falls Overlook

Wallace lake is a great place to kayak. People can also swim there. Theres a lot of paths to walk around the lake and across the street from it. Great place! Right in the heart of the Metroparks.

A really nice public park. Part of the Metro Parks of Berea and surrounding areas.Plenty of picnic tables and grills.We walked along the banks of Wallace Lake to the beach area . Very tranquil in the afternoon.Lots of parking.There is an ice cream shop in the concession building but it is closed due to Covid-19.Not sure if the restrooms were open .

Nice secluded lake. In these social distant times everyone was far enough apart to make you feel comfortable. There are plenty of life guards. Its a really great place.

The lake is beautiful, the fishes ate the worms but missed the hook. Lucky for us, we didnt have to get them off the hook to toss them back in the lake. Busy park, saw a deer. Restrooms were Locked, which wasnt good!!

I love being able to come and swim here. Very family friendly. I like how you can rent paddle boats. The little beach is nice. I wish it was open on the weekends until the hot weather truly ends. The changing rooms could have been a little cleaner.

Nice lake, park, beach with life guards, restrooms, picnic tables and beautiful trails for walking or biking. The paddle boats looked like fun. Need to bring your kayak down and row the day away. Theres a cafe with food and ice cream but I didnt check it out to see about pricing. There are charcoal grills and pavilions available throughout the park.

This is a fun summer time Park located within the Cleveland Metroparks reservation. They have plenty of outdoor picnic tables for cooking a dinner for a summer picnic as well as a swimming area with sandy beach including paddle boat rentals. The overall location is clean and very safe, easy to get to. We have had many family events at this location and have never had any issue. Highly recommended.

I enjoy the picnic area nice and clean. Enough room so your not ontop of people. Close enough to the water so you can watch you kids swim. at the same time see your table. I enjoy every time I take the kids to swimming.
