This Cleveland metropark offers trails and picnic areas, and includes Shawnee Hills Golf Course as one of its attractions. Flowing through the park is Tinkers Creek, named for a member of Moses Cleaveland's surveying party. The stream drops a dramatic 220 feet over a course of two miles and has cut a steep, walled gorge. The gorge, declared a National Natural Landmark, is a unique area with numerous tree, shrub and flower species.

The Tinkers Creek Gorge Scenic Overlook on Gorge Parkway offers a spectacular vista particularly in the fall.

Bedford Reservation Hiking
Tinkers Creek is named after Joseph Tinker, the principal boatman for Moses Cleveland's survey crew, who died in a boating accident on a return trip to New England. The steepness and rockiness of the Tinkers Creek's gorge, now part of the Metroparks' Bedford Reservation, made much of the land along the creek bed inaccessible for homes and farming, securing its preservation as a natural area. In 1968, the U.S. Park Service recognized these gorges as part of its Registered National Natural Landmarks.

Bedford Reservation Hiking
This park is in the Cleveland Metroparks domain and is home to a local national landmark, Tinkers Creek Gorge. The gorge, a 140-foot steep-walled formation, offers the hiker quite a sight in the spring as it overflows with ferns, mosses, lichens, liverworts and wildflowers. The all-purpose trails give bikers and hikers varying degrees of difficulty. In 1993, a 20-mile trail of crushed limestone was added to lead hikers along old canal routes. The park is also home to Stumpy Basin, an ecological wetland.
