Don't let cold weather keep you indoors!
Lake Metroparks has trails spanning Lake County. These trails provide countless opportunities to fight off cabin fever this winter.
Cardinal Loop Trail: Walk through some of the last remnants of original Ohio swamp forest and along the edge of Granger Pond, the largest inland pond in the county.
Riverwood Trail: Meander along the river and enjoy scenic views of the water. Keep your eyes open near woodland edges for perching hawks and other raptors.
Carriage Lane Trail: The combination of forest, edge and fresh water has created an oasis for suburban wildlife.
All Peoples Trail: Discover a huge sundial and other sculptures on this easy trail suitable for all abilities. Check out the beach for icy snow dunes along Lake Erie.
Gully Brook Valley Trail: This trail gives us a unique view into the park’s 100-year history. The young trees along Gully Brook are evidence that this land was farmed in the mid 1900s. There is also a large beech tree with the initials LOL carved into it—a sign post for an old fur trapping route.
Nature Center to Kirtland City Hall: This 2.5-mile hike follows Glen Meadow Loop, Red Fox Loop and the Kirtland Connector Trail along hemlock-lined ravines and through mature woodlands.
