Confirmed from Bedford Reservation's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Bedford Reservation
“Awesome walk about, just a beautiful towpath.”
Awesome walk about, just a beautiful towpath. Conveniently located in the the Bedford Metropark Reservation. Walking, running, biking. They have several parking locations and great for bringing the kiddos on a walk and learning about nature.
Been hiking here for years, it's got some seriously rugged areas. Be kind and don't disturb the mosses, they are fragile.
Have been to the Bedford Reservation of the Cleveland MetroParks many times in the past and it is a good location also during the fall to see the Bridal Veil Falls and the many different unique colors and trails also near it. Definitely worth the stop if you get the chance.
I like to take my dog to walk/run around, very nice views, pretty big place. The bike paths are pretty popular, so I try to stay off them with my dog. A river runs through it, it's lots of fun following if you don't mind making new paths.
