Confirmed from Pawpaw Sledding Area'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 Pawpaw Sledding Area
Small area where you have a little hill for small children to sled. Nice access to the Bridal Trail and the all purpose trail. First part of the Bridal Trail is covered in beautiful Atlantic Camas flowers. As you walk along you can pick up the smell of the Morrow's Honeysuckle.
Great spot to park to start your walk, run, bike ride, or if you are here in the winter time to use the Hill to Sled down. Good amount of spot to park, there is a Porta Potty here to use, they have two picnic benches, also there is a quick fix for you bike it you need to tighten a screw or pump tires, etc...
Small hill. slope is very slight, almost to the point you wouldn't think sleds would be able to pick up speed but it does. great hill for small children. Over the age of 6 and I'd look elsewhere...like the Hinkley Reservation Sledding hill.
I was here on May 7th with the Cleveland Hiking Club, and I really loved exploring a new area of the Metro Parks. The PawPaw Picnic/Sledding Area was our meeting point for our hike, and it was very peaceful. I'll definitely be back. :)
