The trails run right next to the river so you consistently have a great view. There is definitely wild life to see. We saw a crane and a racoon on our visit. Overall a very peaceful and serene spot to connect with nature. The park website has great maps to figure out where to park or get on the trail. There are a few spots you can get onto the trail to make it a short walk to the falls if that's what you're looking for.

We opted to take the Overlook Trail, which did, indeed, lead us to a great overlook!

I used to live right next to Brust Park and would go there almost every day and in every season. You can never go wrong. By the parking area is an overlook looking at the Cuyahoga River. Which smells so fresh and clean. Walk the paved path (running along the river) East towards Kent or west towards Cuyahoga Falls/Silver Lake. You can make a left going west and end up in waterworks park, equally as gorgeous. It kind of seems like it's all the same park to me. Going west will also take you past a large pond that people fish in and there is often a blue heron hanging out there. There are many opportunities to get close to the river and many little trails off the beaten path that you can explore. There's always people kayaking. This park is so inspiring and I still make it a point to go out of my way to go here even though I live 30 minutes away now. As far as facilities go, there is a nice bathroom at the entrance and you can find more at waterworks a short way down the path. As far as the other review stating a junkyard exploded I have no idea what that is referring to. The park is scenic and clean, yes it does go behind some houses, but nice ones at that and I never felt that it took away from the experience. Also I don't recall there being ample trash cans for dog waste but I don't have a dog. I know there are at least a few trash cans going west. I wouldnt knock this place just for that though. I hope if you get the chance to enjoy this park that you love it as much as I do.

Beautiful park and manor house. We did a Sunday tour: $5 for adults and free for children under 5…read more It is a nicely restored home and it has some really cool nooks and crannies. I love how the family was linked to the Seiberling family. (Basically they were in the railroad industry and transported their tires). The house is large, but not flashy nor extravagant. Just well-decorated and captures a snapshot of the era(s) when they lived there. I am excited go back at christmastime.

I was out shopping in Hartville and wanted to get a hike in so I checked out Quail Hollow Park…read more The park is part of the Stark Park system and is located just Northeast of the Hartville main business district. The park is decent sized and provides hiking, bridal and mountain bike trails. On my visit I got to hike about 1/2 the park with a bit of all 3 types of trails including parts of the Buckeye Trail and the Mountain Bike Trail. While the trails were nice, well marked and generally a nice wild feel for a hiker like me I was a bit disappointed. The trails are generally low moderate with not much elevation change and very little challenge. Doing a loop from the Manor House on the Purple and Buckeye Trails was mostly forest, but there were sections that were open fields and also paved sections. The part of the Mountain Bike Trail I did was really mellow and lacked variety. While Quail Hollow Park seems nice it lacks variety and challenge for more advanced hikers. This would be a great park if you are looking for a place to take a nice easy hike or easy mountain biking. Probably not the place if you want to really get a workout or find a diverse hike.

The trail itself is a little over one mile paved from end-to-end. If you find yourself aching for more mileage, you can easily continue onto the neighborhood sidewalks. I found the entire park and the length of the trail well maintained, mowed, pruned, and litter-free. There's an event space, aptly named The Trolley Line House. It has the cutest signage featuring a model trolley and the exterior is decorated for fall. There's a bicycle parking rack and maintenance station for basic repairs or tube changes. Down by the parking area is a large picnic pavilion with four tables and electrical outlets. On the other side of the event house is a fire pit and I'd love to join a gathering here. All in all, it's a truly great little park. Can't wait to see if the trail gets extended - I'd be here even more if it was.

Although it is a very short walk, this trail offers a quiet, secluded experience with a great view. And is a wonderful location to be alone with a good book. There's not a lot to see, but if you relax at one of the many overlooks you'll be serenaded by frogs, trapped by the beauty of the colorful water lilies and blanketed in silence. There is one picnic table at the foot of the trail (no grill) & a small area where you could unload a canoe or kayak. It is also a good place to walk your dog if they have behavioral issues as there is very little traffic on this trail.
