First off I want to say I've been coming here for 20+ years. Very disappointed with the upkeep…read more Very very dirty water! Looks like it would get you sick if you swallowed it. It stunk so bad I didn't want to put my head under. Literally felt like I was swimming in Mogadore Lake. The bottom is mushy and a weird green algae/muck comes up every time you walk in the water. The edges are so slippery with algae I almost fell a couple times. It's actually unsafe. Also theres a weird white film on top of the water. Disgusting! There's turtles swimming in the deep end. Where is the chlorine? $20 a piece to not be able to swim in the deep end or get on the diving boards. Very very disappointing. To be honest, I don't think will ever return. It's really went downhill. Sad..

I live near this park and have been using it for over 60 years. Here is some updated information:…read moreSwimming is no longer allowed. (for humans) Dogs can swim on Thursdays only. There is no charge to get in. The paved road around the lake has been split into a one-way driving/biking road and a with an adjacent walking lane. There is a Hike/bike trail called The Freedom Trail that borders this park. Metro Parks Summit County is going to add a connector trail between them in 2026. The Freedom Trail in this area is a rail trail, so it is pretty flat. There is an area called Tallmadge Meadows that to me is a separate park, because the two areas have very different prior ownership and history, but Metro Parks considers them to be the same park. The parking for Tallmadge Meadows is right around the corner from South River Rd. on South Main St. (Rt 91). There is also a trailhead in Munroe Falls for the Summit County Bike and Hike Trail. It is about a ¼ mile North of South River Rd and runs along the Cuyahoga River. I used to be a Firefighter/EMT in Munroe Falls and it was not unusual for us to get called out to the "Metro Park" and have to ask, "which one"? All 3 of these are great parks and I consider myself luck to live in between them.

Its COVID season, I haven't gotten out anywhere so this is the best I can do since I haven't eaten outside since Feb. This was nice but, of course, catered with my own cooking. I wish I could Yelp my own cooking, a clear 1 star.

It belongs to everyone, now that it is a part of the Cuyahoga National Park. What a glorious setting: sitting high above the valley, above the quarries where the canal stones were hewn, nearly two centuries ago. Surrounded by trees, but with a few large, grassy areas carved out it is perfect for hiking, picnics, bird-watching, fishing. Barred owls sit in the pines, small-mouth bass and bluegill rise to a #18 Parachute Adams and a hiking trail connects you with the rest of the park. I can stand at the south-east edge, casting into the algae-covered waters, and imagine I am high in the Rockies, or perhaps at a private preserve in Scotland. Yet another fine and free benefit afforded by this, our great democracy.

Finally a nice day and a day off so we packed up a cooler and the boat and headed to Lake Hodgson!!…read moreIt's close to our home so it is very convenient. We are very fortunate to have a nice lake like this located down the road from us. The employees are always very helpful and pleasant. You can buy an annual pass and take your boat out whenever you want during the open season!! Their days and hours have changed because of Covid so I'm not sure of them off hand. This lake to me is is just the right size where it isn't too big and it's not too small!! I like being able to see land so anywhere on this lake you can see land. It isn't crowded so you feel like you are out there by yourself. It is very peaceful as quiet. You just hear the birds, the sound of water and of course your bait hitting the water after you cast your line :-) Maybe we will see ya out there!!

I visited in the fall and the park was beautiful!…read more The park is located right in the middle of the town. You can easily pass the entrance.

We went on a warm, sunny day with no cloud cover, so the fish weren't very active near the surface, but the tranquility more than made up for it. Our depth gauge showed the water ranged from under 2 feet to just over 7 feet as we got closer to the blimp storage area. There were lots of water lilies in bloom, which made the scenery even more stunning. A truly calm and scenic spot--highly recommend!

My complaint is getting charged for five nights when I only stayed for three. I had made an original reservation for five nights, but my plans changed and I only needed three. I called in advance to let them know of this, but they said that since the reservation was for five nights, they had to charge for five nights. I maybe could understand if it was a big holiday weekend or even a weekend for that matter, but it was during the week and the place was deserted. Just remember when you make a reservation here you are getting charged for it! Total rip off!
