Sure, there are endless trails up and down hills, through thick woods where it is cool even on a steamy summer day, along ponds where the frogs serenade and the herons watch majestically, by the edge of cliffs where the vista stretches as far as the eye can see - you can find it all at Rocky River Reservation! But you can find the hidden treasures too: a spray of wild roses, a little frog waiting to cross the path, a cluster of shimmering ferns. Go find the treasures. They are there to be discovered!

Great hiking trails and the staff in the nature center is super friendly! It's a nice place to visit with kids, dogs, or just yourself! There is a lot of inspiration and educational things to see along the trails and in the nature center.

I love my childhood park even as an adult. So many improvements just gorgeous. Low country's cousin

Phenomenal park with a nice nature center as well as stairs up to an observation area (see photos). You can also take a more leisurely stroll along a gentle curving path to get up to the observation area. It's gentle enough that we made it with a stroller without an issue. Great area to take your dog for an outdoor jaunt - leashed, of course. Beautiful sights and a great place to feel in touch with nature while in close proximity to the city.
