North Chagrin Reservation: Cleveland Park Guide

Best metroparks, been coming here for years! and I just found out squares castle was this metroparks this entire time, I've been going to strawberry picnic and walking mainly on that side since forever, but love to know how big this place actually expands! Love the owls , and love seeing turtles at the pond 🐢.

There are lot of flat trails to explore. There’s nice walk through pond. In the nature center there are fish collection and information about coyote and beaver. There are nature based books to read at leisure. It’s a must visit place with family.

Probably the most beautiful place I've been to in Ohio. The terrain is rugged but very interesting. There are a wide variety of trails here. We combined several of them in a loop of about 9 miles, and it went around all the major areas of the park. (Waterfall to Museum to Overlook to Castle Valley to Squires to Hemlock). Absolutely worth your time. Be cautioned that the trails do get muddy, but the views are well worth it.

Very well kept relaxing reserve with small trails and a small lake with 2 fishing docks, allowing you to walk around and enjoy the water and wildlife. Recommended for dog lovers, small or large groups, families, and if you're alone and just want to clear your mind (as with any park stick to daylight hours altho this seems to be one of the busier ones). If you don't like the geese then you can sit by the lake (one side has chairs, the other side has grass but can be untidy because of the geese). There are quiet a few other trails including a horse riding trail as well, so look for trail markers. Other trails it connects to include Strawberry lane and Buttermilk falls, and a number of large spacious picnic areas. The picnic shelter specific to that area (Strawberry Shelter) is very large and clean, and seems able to handle up to 50 or so people with a dedicated delivery and parking lane, and up to 4 grilling fire spots. Always a relaxing place to visit with lots to see.

This is one of my favorite parks EVER!!!!! There are paved trails and non paved trails, butter milk falls is very nice. Squire’s castle is very rich with history, there is a picnic table that’s hidden but you can eat in the nature center. The amount of birds is amazing for bird watchers and photographers like me! The nature center has bird feeders outside a window, and restrooms, even a gift shop and event room. Overall 10/10 (5.0 stars).
