    January
    Quarry Rock Falls, South Chagrin Reservation
     
    Features an accessible overlook deck that offers scenic views down on the Chagrin River. Throughout winter look for massive icicles clinging to the rock cliffs that channel the river towards Lake Erie.
     
    Buttermilk Falls, North Chagrin Reservation
     
    After visiting Squire’s Castle, head south to Buttermilk Falls, a medium-sized waterfall cascading over Cleveland Shale. The adjacent parking lot makes this an easy attraction to visit.
     
    Great Falls of Tinker's Creek, Bedford Reservation
     
    One of the most stunning waterfalls in the park system. In winter, the accessible overlook can offer a view of both ice and fast-moving streams that tumble down into the Bedford gorge. 
     
    Bridal Veil Falls, Bedford Reservation
     
    A short walk down boardwalk steps lead to a gorgeous overlook of Bridal Veil Falls. The surrounding Hemlocks stay green throughout the winter and provide an amazing backdrop as the water flows and freezes over the layers of Bedford Shale.
     
    Mill Creek Falls, Garfield Park Reservation
     
    Witness winter’s transformation of Cuyahoga County’s tallest waterfall. Cold spells will create a breathtaking wall of ice cascading over the nearly 50 feet high waterfall that can be observed from two decks.
     
    Berea Falls, Rocky River Reservation
     
    A gaping mosaic of Devonian Period sandstone supports the gauntlet of Berea Falls, an energetic winter scene accessible just a few steps from the parking lot at Berea Falls Scenic Overlook.
     
    Henry Church, Jr. Rock Trail, South Chagrin Reservation
     
    The steep descent down the rocky staircase of the Henry Church, Jr. Rock Loop provides views of a small but scenic fall cascading along a slow-moving portion of the Chagrin River.
     
    Sulphur Springs, South Chagrin Reservation
     
    The pristine habitat offers gorgeous views and the soothing sounds of a babbling creek flowing over many small, terraced waterfalls.
     
    Chippewa Creek Gorge, Brecksville Reservation
     
    A scenic overlook provides a view of the Chippewa Creek Gorge’s large boulders and tumbling creek. Throughout the winter icicles may adorn the sandstone rocks and ledges along the gorge.
     
    Hemlock Creek Picnic Area, Bedford Reservation
     
    Beautiful views of the small and quick-to-freeze Hemlock and Tinker’s Creek will delight any winter hiker.
