EUCLID CREEK RESERVATION REVIEWS
The creek is so clean, so amazing. The view and trails are beautiful. There are courts, and a place to take the kids and friends for picnics. Along the trail you have fitness equipment to stop and workout. Awesome place for a run or jog. The water is shallow, you can really walk on the stones and along the shore. Beautiful.
Recent upgrades at the park are nice. A new bridge and renovated hiking trail take you across the river and up to the overlook. Trails go along both sides of the river and there is another trail alongside the road. All are well marked , some steep, some fairly flat. Some paved, some dirt trails. Lots of picnic areas and basketball courts at one end, enjoyed by kids. Clean and well maintained. Thank you Metro Parks!!!!
Nice walking trails with lake or river views. Places for beach time and fishing as well as walking. Grills picnic shelter and restroom as well. Beautiful pier for relaxing. Neighborhood patrols.

ROCKY RIVER RESERVATION REVIEWS
Beautiful trails and well maintained area! I enjoyed my time here strolling with family. The visitors center is both informative and gave me an appreciation of all of the wild life surrounding us. Also, the amount of trails at this reservations was unbelievable! You can get lost here for hours! Lots of parking available as well as washroom facilities throughout the reservation for your convenience. Ill continue to come here every time I visit cleavland.
One of the larger and better of the fantastic Cleveland Metroparks. It includes Emerald Necklace Marina, which is a fantastic spot for a calm kayaking trip down the Rocky River and to Lake Erie. The main disadvantage is that there are no long unpaved trails, but you can combine some of the smaller ones near the nature center to make a decently sized loop with some hills.
Easily one of the best Metroparks/parks in the NE Ohio region, and a huge asset to Greater Cleveland. Always well-maintained trails, clear signage, and safe. One of the best free nature centers I've been to. I will always come to this parking while in the Cleveland area.

NATURE CENTER AT SHAKER LAKES REVIEWS
This is an excellent marshland preserve with beautiful well maintained wheelchair accessible wooden elevated walkways, and numerous decks. The rustic wooden gazebo is beautiful and photogenic , as are the variety of lookout points. We spotted a few ducks, a raccoon and a majestic deer with beautiful antlers along the trail, and ecosystem seems healthy. There's a pavilion for people who want to have a get together or a picnic. Overall an excellent place for adults and kids to get close with nature.
This is a really nice place to visit, and a great place to bring the kids. Mostly paved trails, easy to walk, kids could easily do it. The scenery is beautiful. If you like bird watching definitely come here. The nature center had plenty of activities for the kids.
I loved it here! I loved the trails and tree house here! Breathtaking flowers and scenery! Dog-friendliness: Unfortunately the trails are the nature center are not dog friendly.
