A reservation with extensive hiking and biking trails. Scenic overlooks, picnic areas, barbecue pavilions, fountain, with a river that has many nature viewing spots to appreciate. A road that winds through the reservation with many spacious areas so that if one area is crowded, you're not confined to just one location travel about. Many photo opportunities to be taken throughout. For the bike trail it is asphalt, for the hiking trail. It is dirt/ gravel.
Great park, offers lots of slots for parking near the observation deck. BIKE trail is amazing but with some up and downs, the trail can connect with other parks.
The view must be great in fall.

My son golfed in the US kids golf tournament at Shawnee Hills... Beautiful well maintained golf course with newly paved cart paths....Definitely a challenging course. If you don't get a cart prepare for a workout, lots of hills especially on the back nine! The only negative would be the driving range. The tees are very high and it's tight with people walking behind you...other than that great course
I used the AllTrails app to wander the Bridal Trail with a couple of side tracks down other trails. It was a great day for it since it hasn't rained much lately. Otherwise, it'd have been pretty muddy. Great parking lot with restrooms at the start of the trail and plenty of options for walking, jogging, road bikes and mountain bikes.
Really enjoy the trails here. Perfect 80 degree day and only saw 4 people on my 3 mile hike.
Honestly, an overall disappointment and not as good as the other reservations, parks, and hiking trails in the area.
The hiking trails are mostly paved and follow the roads, which is a huge disappointment. Why even have the "trails" if they're just a sidewalk?
Most of the areas you can just park beside and spend a 3 minute walk to get to their view, which isn't enjoyable in the slightest. Why tear down forest and pave over it, why not enjoy nature a bit and have people walk there?
If you're looking to go on a hike, go to another part of Cuyahoga national Park, as there are really great hikes there and they're better maintained.
If you need accessible walks but don't want to walk in town, this is much more for you.

Beautiful forest with small stream and waterfalls running through it. Not crowded typically. Easy to follow, well marked trails for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. There are paved trails close to the road and dirt trails in the woods. A large staircase takes you down to Bride Veil Falls. Kids are often in the river - beware the rocks are VERY slippery!!! Noise from roads and highway the only negative. Clean and well maintained. Thank you Metro Parks!!!
