Confirmed from Gully Brook 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.
Simple park with playgrounds, picnic tables and a pavilion with a fireplace, dog runs and hiking trails.
What runners say about Gully Brook Park
“Restrooms were clean, path was well marked and the kids had fun trying to catch crayfish and minnows.”
“Beautiful park to take a walk went there with the Cub scouts Webelos one had a great walk what a snowy fun park”
“Really chill trail that is super popular for dog walkers, has 2 watering spots and lots of bins throughout.”
Beautiful trail. Easy to walk with the kids. Strollers can also be easily pushed on the trail. Has a cute and clean playground with bathroom right next to it.
Excellent walking path through the woods. You do get a little highway noise on the south side of the trail, but it's almost a brown noise to me.
Hidden gem of Lake county and willoughby. The 1.6 mile round trail is perfect for some time outside in nice weather. The playground and campfire is good for families with small children. There’s a pavilion for family gatherings. A lot of parking and public restrooms.
A small sweet park that can be missed as you drive past. Focused around a brook that connects with the Chagrin River near Daniels Park. Well planned and maintained trails pass by a large pavilion that can be rented for gatherings. The park is bordered by Rt.84 and Rt.90 but you wouldn't know it as you walk the trails.
