  • 5/5 Brett W. 3 years ago on Google • 33 reviews
    I was born and raised in this park and its beauty continues to bring me back as an adult. There are over 20 miles of hiking trail, 12 of which are open to off-road cycling/mountain biking (called Bedford Singletrack), and about 8 can be used for horse riding. There are 2 feature waterfalls, as well as a few hidden ones. There are 4 large picnic areas, some of which can be reserved. Finally, there is an all purpose path that runs through a majority of the reservation for walking, running, cycling, and whatever else! Overall, it's a great place to be outdoors.

    Beautiful forest with small stream and waterfalls running through it. Not crowded typically. Easy to follow, well marked trails for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. There are paved trails close to the road and dirt trails in the woods. A large staircase takes you down to Bride Veil Falls. Kids are often in the river - beware the rocks are VERY slippery!!! Noise from roads and highway the only negative. Clean and well maintained. Thank you Metro Parks!!!

    Lovely little reservation that is apart of Cleveland MetroPark. Chalk full of waterfalls, hiking trails, walking paths, horse trails, picnic areas and everything you could need for a little afternoon outside of the city.

    First time here...the overlook is pretty neat...doesn't go over the edge of the gorge too far...but is nice. The gorge is actually rather massive for Ohio lol...and tinkers creek really flows good too. Saw a bunch of bald eagles there while we did a little hike. Our doggo wanted to be friends with them hahah

    Golfed at Shawnee. Had a great time. Met a young girl driving beverage cart and working at snack counter. By the name of Grace. Have yiu ever heard the saying amazing Grace. She was one of our highlights. So friendly and caring type pre-med (PA) college students.

  • 5/5 Dorothy A. 1 year ago on Google
    Spectacular fall colors views whether walking or driving. Don't miss the Overlook Gorge. All breathtaking! Well maintained park of the Emerald Necklace.

  • 5/5 Josh W. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful park with an excellent 12 or so miles of Mtb paths.

  • 3/5 Mimi S. 1 year ago on Google
    It was okay Did some practice at their driving range Not all the spots have a rubber tee and some turf mats are newer than others. The older turf mat's are worn down and dipped in ths middle.

  • 5/5 Valinda B. 1 year ago on Google
    My Gabriel and his bestie, Lucy, loved it. It was a short walk on a paved trail. There was some gradation, but nice overlook at the bottom. Could use a few benches along the 1/4 mile trail and at the observation overlook at the bottom. This would make it more disabled accessible.

  • 5/5 Amber D. 2 years ago on Google
    The bridal trails and paved all-purpose path are easy to use. I wish there were paper maps. Some of the other trails either weren't marked well or the markings weren't as easy to follow. Bedford Reservation is beautiful and quiet. Bridal Veil Falls is always worth the trip.
