Confirmed from Cleveland Metroparks Cliffs Bike Park'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.

★★★★★ — The , Sep 2023

So this is a really good spot to check out. It’s a little more condensed then at first glance online but def a fun time. Bring tons of water not much shade the black top gets really hot. It was kind weird to find where to find it but it’s there.

★★★★☆ — Angela , Jun 2022

Very nice brand new bike park with a lot of hills. The paths are very smooth and scenery around it is really beautiful.

★★★★★ — Kim , Nov 2022

Great park with something for everyone and it is in the heart of an area you would never expect. I recommend this place to ride bikes, hike, or fish. Enjoy the outdoors!

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.
