There’s A Little-Known, Fascinating Train Park Near Cleveland And You’ll Want To Visit

In Northeast Ohio, there is no shortage of trains. From the iconic Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad to real-life model train towns like Medina, there is train-related adventure hidden everywhere. However, there is one park that is mixing up train-themed adventure in an unforgettable way. Get ready for a road trip, because a visit to this mini train park is a must for every Clevelander!

Welcome to Lester Rail Trail!

Hidden deep within the Medina County Park District is a quaint trail that's largely hidden. Visitors actually park at the Medina County Career Center's parking lot in the northeast corner. Be sure to plug 3654 Lester Rd., Medina, OH into your GPS!

When the trail was initially constructed, the park decided to miniaturize the community's roots.

A partnership between the Medina County Park District and Northeast Ohio Live Steamers (NEOLS) was formed in order to make this park particularly magical. You won't believe how they brought to life such a charming vision!

Upon visiting, you'll discover miniature steamers that will take you on a tour through Medina County's untamed wildlife.

In a remote farming region, you'll pass through prairie grasses and wetland areas from your comfortable perch on the train.

Beginning in June, free train rides and demonstrations will be offered to the public!

Each summer, NEOLS entertains locals with small-scale fun that is unlike any adventure you've ever taken. Check their calendar for upcoming dates to stop by!
