We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Cleveland Metroparks yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

“Went to South Chagrin reservation for the first time Sunday and absolutely beautiful!”

I like hiking along Sulphur Springs creek. The hemlocks make it a very attractive place. You can easily get a 5 mike hike in a South Chagrin Reservation.

This morning? or This afternoon? AM went running. Downhill and Up. It was great to clear my head. PM walked the dog. Couple of miles on the single track trails. Down by the river, through open fields, and through the woods. We had a great time! We'll be back next week..

South Chagrin is my favorite of the Metroparks I've been to. Many trails, hills, fields, rivers and streams, ravines, picnic areas. Lots of shade. Wonderful for hiking, trail running, exploring nature with kids, and picnicking. Highly recommended!

★★★★★ — Daniel , Aug 2022

Clean trails, polite park employees, beautiful. Recommend to anyone wanting to hike miles or a 30 min walk. Variety of parks... wonderful.

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.
