Rocky River Reservation Hiking Pictures

Rocky River Reservation has a vast range of beautiful sites to see. The Rocky River is the right name for this Cleveland Metropark. Everywhere you look you'll see weathered shale outcroppings extending out from the river and its banks. Many waterfalls flow over the large rocks as you hike near the river trails. The Geology is awesome from the river banks to the shale and sandstone ledges above. I love the shade of the majestic cottonwoods, willows, and sycamore trees near the river. Sleepy Hollow golf course is a cut above most other golf courses because it is located within this beautiful park. Frostville museum shows how our ancestors lived in the 1800's. The Rocky River nature center has scary looking fossil exhibits of sharks and armored fish that were found within the shale cliffs.

Rocky River Reservation Cleveland Metropark is located in Berea, Brook Park, Cleveland, Fairview Park, Lakewood, North Olmsted, Olmsted Township, and Rocky River. The first land purchased for Cleveland Metroparks can be seen from the Stinchcomb-Groth Memorial.


The character of Rocky river reservation, in the Cleveland Metroparks domain, is strongly influenced by the Rocky River. Massive shale cliffs rise above the willows, sycamores and cottonwoods, and many trails wind through the valley's deep floodplain forests, meadows and wildflowers. Wildlife is common in the Rock River Reservation valley and visitors can expect to see numerous bird species and some common Ohio mammals year-round, including the white-tailed deer. Visit Rocky River Nature Center to learn more. The reservation includes three golf courses: Big Met, Little Met and Mastick Woods.

Rocky River Reservation Valley was settled early in this area's history and reflects many of the sights common to the first settlers. Frostville Museum, an affiliate of Cleveland Metroparks, illustrates how the 1800s settlers lived and worked in the Rocky River Valley.

Rocky River Reservation Cleveland Metropark has an excellent and extensive system of trails, including a section of the "Buckeye Trail." Squire Rich Home & Museum, managed by the Brecksville Historical Society, and Sleepy Hollow Golf Course, both on Brecksville Road, are also a part of the reservation.
