Rocky River Reservation

Highlight • River

This parkland sprawls for more than 5,600 acres along the Rocky River. Most of it makes for very natural-feeling running through a mix of forest, floodplain and meadows, although there are some golf courses and picnic areas here, too.

Mill Stream Run Reservation All Purpose Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

For almost 9 miles, the Mill Stream Run Reservation All Purpose Trail meanders through a wooded park in Berea, a western Cleveland suburb. Despite running near Valley Parkway, the trail feels secluded from the urban environment. Attractions along the route include a wildlife area, several picnic spots, an archery range, and multiple connecting nature trails, including one for equestrians. The trail, with its smooth asphalt surface, is well maintained. While you might encounter walkers, runners, or roller bladers, it's rarely crowded. At its northern end, it connects to the Rocky River Reservation All-Purpose Trail.

Jaite Mill Historic District

Highlight • Historical Site

In 1905, the Jaite Company Paper Mill was founded here due to the great location next to the Ohio & Erie Canal and the Cleveland Terminal & Valley Railroad. It produced various paper products until World War II but couldn't compete with bigger mills afterward.
Since 1975 it's belonged to the National Park Service and was named Jaite Mill Historic District shortly after.
The buildings that you can still find here are the old company buildings, but cannot be entered anymore. You'll find some information boards about the Mill's history nearby.

Berea Falls Scenic Overlook

Although the path has a couple of busy roads to cross. This section of the metroparks between strongsville and Rocky River are some of the best multi-use trails you can find. It stays close to the river, so the path is winding. Lots of picnic grounds and restrooms. All paved
