Brecksville Reservation is the largest Cleveland Metroparks reservation at over 4,300 acres.
From the oak-hickory forests on the ridge tops to the cottonwoods, willows and sycamores of Chippewa Creek's flat floodplain, Brecksville Reservation is a study of contrasts. The reservation is deeply cut by seven distinct gorges which have a wide variety of soil and sunlight conditions, fostering the growth of rare, unusual and endangered plants. Chippewa Creek, in the northern section of the reservation, flows through a remarkable gorge that was left behind by the glaciers that once covered this area. The reservation has an excellent and extensive system of trails, including a section of the Buckeye Trail. To find out more, be sure to visit the historic Brecksville Nature Center. Sleepy Hollow Golf Course and Seneca Golf Course are also a part of the reservation.
