        When the snow starts to fly this December, don't hibernate. Bundle up and enjoy a sleighful of winter family fun in Cleveland Metroparks!

    Snow �paints� the landscape white during the winter months. It's pretty, but why not add a splash of color to the scenery? Come and paint the park red� or blue or green.

    Tracks In The Snow

    CanalWay Center  � Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation 

    Did you ever see tracks in the snow and wonder who made them? Was it a raccoon? Wild turkey? White tailed deer? Take a short hike while looking for tracks in the snow and learn to identify who made them. 


    CanalWay Center is located on Whittlesey Way, off the East 49th Street entrance of Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation, between Grant Avenue and Canal Road in Cuyahoga Heights. For registration and more information, call 216-206-1000 or visit clevelandmetroparks.com.
