Brecksville Reservation is a gorgeous metro park. It is partially located within the Cuyahoga Valley NP in Brecksville. The scenery is stunning. Chippewa Creek is the centerpiece, roaring through the northern part of the park. There are numerous trails running through the many hills and over several creeks. A few prairies and fields dot the reservation, as well as a handfull of picnic areas, and a beautiful public golf course owned by Cleveland Metroparks. Overall, if you need a taste of nature and don't want to go too far from Cleveland, pay a visit to the Brecksville Reservation. You'll feel like you're hours from Cleveland.
