Looking to get out and enjoy some time in nature? These are good options.
You must put a trip to Worden's Ledges on your bucket list! Located in Cleveland Metroparks Hinkley Reservations, the stone carvings at Worden's Ledges are a fascinating treasure! The short .7 mile hike leads through beautiful scenery and moss covered ledges. Then out of nowhere you'll discover historic carvings among the stones. Silver Creek Metro Park is a 1,008 acre gorgeous park near Norton, Ohio in Summit County. It was once a dairy farm and the open fields, fence rows and a historic barn remind you of its past. It is a wonderful park to visit regardless of the season, there is beautiful fall foliage, blossoming wildflowers and trees in spring, a beach and boating to enjoy in the summer and cross country trails in the winter. Waterfalls are one of nature’s greatest gifts! Whether you and your family are avid hikers or you just want to get out of the house for an afternoon, there are several amazing waterfalls in Northeast Ohio to explore.
