Brecksville Reservation Highlights:Chippewa Creek Gorge Scenic OverlookDeer Lick CaveSquire Rich Museum

It’s beautiful place for hiking, fishing biking and enjoying beautiful weather in the park with family and friends!

In my opinion, the best of the Cleveland Metropark locations. There are so many options for hiking trails. There are paved trails and dirt trails, and a variety of lengths and difficulty. It is a hillier area, so be prepared for that. My mountain scenic overlook is a beautiful location to sit down and take in the view. If you can handle a short hike with an elevation climb, I definitely recommend checking the area out.

Never a bad day to be on the bridle or All purpose trails in the C li eveland Metroparks!

Great park! Tons of trailers from easy to moderate difficulty and is maintained really well!

Very beautiful park. There is river access and biking and horse trails. Right now there are all sorts of mushrooms fruiting.

Plenty of parking, a nice path to walk or ride a bike, and very scenic. Seems to be a popular place judging by the amount of people that were here. Worth a visit if your in the area

Beautiful reservation. I hadnt spent a lot of time out here so today we did the 4 mile deer lick loop. Its a really nice trail and well marked. The payoff was the caves and rock formations at the creek. Really scenic. Its a lot of of up and down elevations so wouldnt recommend this trail without water, good hiking shoes, and some experience hiking. Great day!

Great place to enjoy nature while socially distancing. Picnic tables and benches, trails and butterfly way station.

Love love love this park system. The trails, the drives, the nature.... Its just about the only National Park nestled right next to major metro areas. You must visit!

Beautiful large park!! So much to see and do!

Great hiking on a nice cooler day. No bugs. No humidity. Enjoy

Great place to hike and walk. There are many trails to choose from and parking lots to grant easy access to trailheads. The park gets moderately busy especially in the afternoons but it is always clean and never feels crowded. There’s great views of the Cuyahoga river and there are a couple access points to launch kayaks and paddle boards. If you are looking to explore there are so many waterfalls to find as well!

This a beautiful park with alot to explore

Stunning! The bridal path connects to the gorgeous buckeye trail. Lots of wildlife.

Great park to hike bike and take the dogs. Looks like theyve done some river maintenance lately. Maybe theyre trying to redirect erosion flow?

Wonderful place to take the kids!! Very clean and lots to do. Amazing trails and beautiful river!

Beautiful and peaceful scenery. Great place to take the family.

Dont know about Reservation, I played Sleepy Hollow golf course, which is awesome. It is part of Cleveland Metroparks & on Brecksville Reservation.

I walked the Hemlock Loop Trail and it was the kind of trail I love with good uphill climbs and sweet surprises along the way. Its a very busy trail, most likely due to its easy access combined with a challenging hike. I cant wait to go back and hike the other trails!

Walking along the Chippewa Creek makes you feel like youre in the Pacific Northwest

I am from Mt. of N.C. my wifes family lives in cleveland its nice there but very happy to find a gem like this I can go to when I visit up here

Very nice place. Lots of walking trails.

Lovely park. Nice trails

Wonderful views in the fall!

Absolutely gorgeous trail ! The best I have been on thus far in Ohio.

Very nice place except for the teens hanging out and smoking and looking at you like they want to rob you

Fantastic trails throughout. Deer lick cave is an interesting attraction, but it is very muddy around it. In spring it is often full of frogs. The hills throughout the park are moderate to high for the area, but certainly not mountains. The salamander loop trail ends with a nice overlook that is worth a stop.

Beautiful, clean park. Paved walking paths and trails through the woods. Its my favorite park in northeast Ohio.

Some really challenging hikes or just walking on any of the all purpose trails can provide a good workout.

Beautiful park with many trails of all levels of difficulty.

Wonderful place to hike!

Beautiful park. Walking trails, friendly people.

Have the best times there with my wife and our fur babies!

Beautiful drive through the woods and interesting walks through the grassland.

This is one of my favorite places to go! If Im by myself, with a friend, or with my dogs its always very relaxing. Im lucky to have grown up in this area and to have such a great park system to experience. Just clean up after yourselves.

I love this park. It is so user-friendly, easy to access, and connects to EVERYTHING. There are so many trails, waterfalls, parcours workout stations, trailheads, fields, nature centers, waterfront - its an absolutely stunning example of what Cleveland Metroparks are like. I spent four months here training for a 50 mile trail race and still have yet to get bored of these paths!

Nice area to go for a picnic.

Always a beautiful place. Very relaxing.

Tough course, you need to keep it close to the middle as everything slopes to the woods and out of play. Deep rough. If you are a beginner, stick to another course to start out.

We started our hike by the falls near Route 82 taking the paved walking path until we came across the nature center. From there we meandered from path to path heading south and came across some beautiful trails with up and down paths, interesting sights, some stairs, a creek, and pleasant wooded scenery. The terrain was changing with some rocky downhill spots requiring care and attention. Nothing too difficult but a nice minor non-paved challenge. We crossed back over to the paved walking trail and hiked back up. I very nice hour and a half in nature getting some steps in. Beautiful pick for a gentle hike or walk.

It was a good place to hike with friends

Well maintained and marked trails. Nice pedestrian bridges and scenic overlooks.

Great park for a walk or hike, there is a good mix of paved and natural trails which lend themselves to all sorts of groups and abilities. Some areas and parking can get busy on weekends when it is nice out, but there are definitely areas where you can get a bit further away from the crowds if youre looking for a little less people and a little more nature.

I love this place wonderful views

I really enjoyed it, but my opponent thought there were too many trees.

On the nature trails, feel like im in the Appalachian w the pines and elevation

One of the best places and my personal favorite to hike and walk trails with the pup and family!! Beautiful views and awesome creeks for the pup to run around in. Highly recommend Brecksville Reservation! Were here almost everyday. Check out the trails by Deer Lick Cave and by Meadow Drive Picnic area!

Cuyahoga Valley National Park is such a gem

Loved this location for trails and the creek bed was fun to play with our puppy in. Weve gone twice and still been through all the trails. Wed like to bring bikes sometime.

Had no idea so many people with their children show up to catch the peepers and salamanders. Was fun to see them up close. Cant say Ive ever seen salamanders so large before!

Great park to go to and walk or do a cookout. There are also plenty of trails to hike

Im so grateful for the Metroparks. The red trail at the brecksville metroparks is so challenging and fun. So much to see and wide enough for a couple to walk next to each other. Bathrooms are open by the nature center and with some smaller access roads around closed to COVID, its quite peaceful and serene. Been here so many times. Flat trails and heavy hills make for a varied workout for everyone. Heinens nearby to pack picnic supplies too!

I need ALL DAY to really get into this area! I love nature and wildlife and preservation and photography! This is a ABSOLUTE MUST PLACE to take yourself or your family for either a hike or pictures or picnic!

Fun spot for kids and nature walks

Great park to hike

Absolutely stunning!!! Beautiful park where I go daily during my lunch time. Careful when youre walking there, apparently there are coyotes in the area. Please dont park by me when Im at lunch, Ill run you over lol!!!

Great hiking trails, fun creek to swim, walk, and play in. Lots of picnic areas. Paved walking trails.

Beautiful weather, nice hike!!

One fantastic park. Trails of every kind. Everything is kept in perfect condition. Go now! Get your exercise and enjoy nature. You cannot do it better than in the Cleveland Metroparks!

Amazing trails, River and people. Whether it’s a leisure stroll, run or intense hike, visits are a must. Don’t miss out on the beauty of nature.

Cleveland Metroparks have a lot to offer. One of those places is, The Brecksville Reservation. A great place to bring friends and family for a nice day walk, or exploration of wildlife. Trying to prove to out of town family that Ohio really is a great place to live? Start here, theyll be convinced.

Rain or snow sunshine or clouds the Cleveland metro parks are the best!

Very good place for team picnics

A wonderful place for a hike. Chippewa Creek is a gorgeous, rocky stream. You can do the simple path that is easy to walk or roam off trail to see a little more.

I liked the privacy of this area..we were at the lower end, just off the riding trail.. I was disappointed to find broken glass all around the rocks as well as in the water, apparently from people breaking bottles against the rocks.. I spent the better part of an hour picking up glass and putting in a bag so I could dispose of it at home.. this needs to be checked before a child gets hurt..

Good for a lot of things out doors, big, alot of paths to take. Worth going for an adventure.

Expansive reservation with various hiking trails. Make sure to take the Deer Lick Cave Loop Trail to check out the caves along the way!

We like to spend time here at this park in between synch swimming events, when we come here 2-3 times a year, we like to walk the path containing this deer Creek cave and the waterfall.

Great outdoors and recreational place

My wife and kids love this place. Theres a great variety of trails from flat, multipurpose trails to rough, hilly trails. Feels far from civilization when youre there, but Id actually quite concerning. The nature center is quite nice, with friendly staff and engaging displays. The bathrooms near the nature center are quite nice.

Its a park. Its chill. Had a cigarette.

You are not technically allowed into the river, however if youre a rock climber there are some amazing tails to go down and boulder in the river. Absolutely beautiful.

One of my favorite local places to trail ride. A decent amount of trails. Could be more accommodating for horse trailers.

As a photographer, this is one of my favorite spots in greater Cleveland! The area around Station Road Bridge in particular is beautiful. It features its namesake bridge as well as a small station stop for the Cuyahoga Valley Railroad. Hike on Towpath Trail or explore the station and bridge. Images by Jennifer Elizabeth Photography.

You have to take a trip off the beaten path to the river and explore the beautiful scenery!

Lots of hills and accessible paths

Great park with lots of good trails

Nice!

Well maintained trails, good hiking

A must visit if in the area! Amazing!

Scenery was absolutely stunning.

Very clean park, and well placed signs make navigation within easy. We were in the Oak Grove picnic area, and the pavilion was well taken care of and the restrooms were relatively clean. Good place for a family reunion or company outing.

Lots to see! A day of hiking family & friends experience .love Nature

Great park. You can hand feed birds here.

Awesome metroparks, great trails, giant creek

This reservation is one of my favorite. There are so many hidden areas to explore with the kiddos. Each time we enter the park our adventure begins.

Beautiful park.

Beautiful, quaint little park right off a city road, but still quiet. This is aa cute little getaway if you live in the town but are craving some nature. Even thigh its right off a main road, I found that the noise doesnt carry into the park at all when you get a bit down the path. There are benches and tables, and a cute little wood hut where my friend and I hid from the rain when it started drizzling. It was incredibly clean and well kept up on. I was very happy with the cleanliness of the park, as I actually went with the intention of picking up litter if I saw any, and I didnt! A really well kept nature reserve.

Many trails to hike, from easy to moderate difficulty. Buckeye trail passes through part of the reservation.

Amazing trails. Great place to walk and breathe it all in

Awesome hiking today!

Its cool when they close roads

Busy place! Beautiful, clean

Awesome place, great trails. Well kept up on

Great hiking areas either in the woods or on paved trails. Beautiful scenery and wildlife abound. Must visit the train station and nature center too.

Beautiful place to visit

Park was clean and a ton of things to do with the whole family

Close to the CVNP and close fo downtown Brecksville. Very nice paved paths for walking/ running/ biking. Trails scattered that go into the woods. Great to run or walk hills.

Took a nice little motorcycle ride
