Nelson-Kennedy Ledges State Park - Some sort of fungi, that I was unable to identify.

I seen this on social media. And knew immediately that I needed to come check this out. And just…read morelike what I already seen. I was not disappointed. It is a smooth 50 minute drive from downtown Cleveland. Taking 422 most of the way there with back roads the remainder. I was there in know time doing the speed limit. There are a few locations to pull off I noticed. So make sure you choose the Nelson Kennedy Ledges state park for gps. Have walking tennis shoes or boots on. Do not wear flip flops. The trail can be a challenge in anything else. You will fall in love with the beauty of nature. And of course the glass bridge is something that is amazing. I throughly enjoyed it and am already planning it trip back next month. Get there. You'll be glad that you listened and went.

An update to my review for Nelson-Kennedy Ledges State Park. This is a relatively small park, only…read moreabout 1 mile long, but it is packed with plenty of fun. There are a number of marked paths through the ledges, plus there are even more side trails and ways to experience the wonders of nature. There are 2 waterfalls, one big one at the North end of the park and a second shorter one near the South end. Of the 4 marked trails, the red trail is my favorite since it is the most challenging with some great rock scrambling. You want to be careful since there are some real cliffs and places where you can hurt yourself if you are not careful, but it also has more fun packed into it than any other park in the area. They have announced a new glass walkway over the Southern waterfall which I will have to get out and check soon. Go out and play.

This is a fairly nice walking and cross ski park. It has several miles of courses that are marked…read moreas hiking, cross country skiing and some points of interest. The trails are mostly wooded. The only issue I have is that there are markings guying you back to the parking lot and they seem to never have printed maps. So make sure you take your phone and photograph the park map.

I am constantly on the hunt for local outdoor activities, and even though Ohio doesn't have…read moreColorado-esque terrain, there is still no reason to stay cooped up at the gym. Towner's Woods has some of the finest trails in the region, contained within a variety of environments. Near the park's entry, there is gorgeous Lake Pippin. Although water access isn't permitted because it is owned by the city of Akron (used for their water supply), some of the trails provide a scenic, somewhat hilly walk alongside it. The historic Hopewell burial mound (marked by an arrowhead on the map) is also near this entry portion of the park. The geography also includes flatter wetland terrain, a popular sledding hill, and a few ponds scattered throughout the woods. People use the park for trail running, dog walking (only on leash), and even cross country skiiing or snow shoeing in season. You could easily crank out 5-6 miles or more, if you were willing to retrace a few sections of the trail. All routes are well marked and maintained, and it would be hard to get lost in here for too long. Even on sunny weekends, I've been surprised at how sparsely populated the park is. Because of it's sprawling size, it's easy to have a very solitary experience. There are picnic pavilions and benches scattered around for warmer weather. Parking is plentiful just off the Ravenna Road entrance. There are also bathrooms in this area. If you're traveling on foot or by bike (bikes not permitted on the park's interior trails, though), you can get here via the Portage County Hike and Bike Trail. I hope you'll enjoy Towner's as much as I have. Whatever the season, it's an ideal place for a peaceful and active wander.

Although we did not go inside the nature center we did walk the trails. I feel it's a great walk…read more So much to see and the terrain was ever changing and can be a great workout. Walking in snow was fun and the views were amazing. Really nice picture opportunities. My favorite images being the trees that have roots exposed. The different patterns and shading make the pictures interesting.

This past weekend my boyfriend and I made the trip to the Brecksville Nature Center to feed…read morechickadees. It was honestly one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I grew up on a large piece of land and always loved watching the small creatures who lived near my house. I feed the animals who live in my backyard now, and I love watching various forms of wildlife frolic in my trees. I've always jokingly said that it would be cool to be able to feed birds from my hand (Cinderella style) but I never knew that would be actually possible. It's a pretty simple process. You go into the nature center, they give you sunflower seeds, and then you patiently and quietly wait with your hand outstretched and full of seeds. I was skeptical at first, but...the chickadees and other birds were quick to scope me out. They'd fly close enough to look at me, briefly make eye contact, and then swoop in for some food. They are so light! And beautiful! And amazingly brave, I think. I know I had a hand full of food, but...I'm a heck of a lot bigger than a chickadee. I had about a dozen birds land on me while I was outside. (and I wasn't out there very long - it was coooollllldd) The highlight was having a bird land on my head! This is a super fun (and free) wintertime thing to do. Chickadee feeding is held from late December through February (weather permitting). It's such a cool experience and totally worth the drive, no matter where you live. (and it's especially fun for the little ones! they can warm up inside by the fire afterwards)

Another tiny section of the long & connecting Portage Trails, just across from the Bob Sumerel…read moreTire Company on Cleveland Street in Ravenna. This is not an ordinary park so if you are looking for a playground, picnic area or baseball diamond you will be disappointed. In fact, depending on how far you go, you might be anyways due to the unsightly factories and disturbing "Animal processing" plant that you are likely to see while gazing about. But aside from those minor things, the trail offers a smooth paved path that is perfect for those of you who struggle with balance, use a wheelchair or enjoy riding a bike. Yet be prepared to sweat!!! Even though there are trees to the right side of the trail, it is outlined with an old railway to your left. The sweltering sun might give you the bronzed skin you desire but it might also give you some super harsh sun burn - so make sure you bring plenty to drink & sun screen! There was only one bench to rest at the entire strip I walked (to the intersection of Lover's Lane). If you own a pet, be smart about taking them out! Dogs can feel the heat of the hot pavement through their paws so if it's hotter then 70/75 I WOULD NOT take them for a walk here!!!! There are no trash cans either so be prepared to carry your poop bags the entire time & take them home with you. Like most trails, this too is open form dawn til dusk & all dogs must be leashed! No ATV's or horseback riding.
