Confirmed from Chagrin Metroparks' 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.

“A quiet and beautiful place for walking near the river and among the trees”

Amazing trails. Sad that i couldn't run them all, however whatever I ran, I enjoyed. The sound of Chagrin River and the chirping of birds is too soothing

A very beautiful place to go and walk and hike. Amazing hiking trails and a nice river that flow through.

★★★★★ — Georgio , Sep 2020

My dog loves the park too!I am from Tampa florida and wish florida had the wonderful Park system that Cleveland and it's surrounding county has, it is really unbelievable they had the vision to…

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
