North Chagrin Reservation, Willoughby Hills

A really mixed bag of walks. Many rough trails bringing you in natural areas, but many paved areas. Great for biking as well, as bikes are allowed on many paved areas. The main building is fascinating, as it provides stuffed versions of the local wildlife on display. Also good for kids, with shorter but nice trails as options.

Very peaceful and serene. An excellent place to go to clear your thoughts - when it's not crowded by people seeking the same experience. Plenty of walking trails to choose from. Some are paved and easy. Others are dirt paths with scenic views and provide great uphill exercise. You can catch many bird and wildlife species early mornings, evenings close to sunset. None of the wildlife are dangerous, but stay away from them all the same. When you get a chance, take a walk along the a Chagrin River. You can fly fish in the deeper parts (however I have yet to catch a fish or see anyone else catch many fish after spring season and when the trout are spawning.
