Hinckley Reservation Adventures

Hinckley Reservation is part of the Cleveland Metroparks system located in Northeast Ohio. Covering an area notable for its varied terrain, the reservation features rolling hills, lush forests, and the iconic Hinckley Lake. This region was shaped by glacial activity, bringing diverse ecosystems that support a rich array of wildlife, including birds and deer. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal's influence is evident, as the area has a unique blend of natural and historical significance. Visitors can indulge in hiking on miles of trails, enjoy water-based recreation at Hinckley Lake, and spot wildlife in their natural habitats. Popular annual events include the Buzzard Day celebration, which marks the return of buzzards, or turkey vultures, to the area every March. The reservation's beauty and recreational opportunities make it a prime spot for hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and bird watching.
