Your Kids Will Love This Easy 5-Acre Waterfall Hike Right Here In Greater Cleveland
Northeast Ohio charms locals with a stunning landscape. Though it may seem urbanized and unremarkable, there is endless beauty is hidden under the surface. You may be surprised to learn that Greater Cleveland is overflowing with hidden waterfalls and other gorgeous natural features. Looking for a way to get outdoors with the kids? One waterfall is super accessible, and you’ll love the short and sweet journey it offers.
During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.
Though small in comparison to other suburbs, this charming little community has more than enough natural beauty to go around.
Located on the appropriately-named Water St., David Fortier River Park is coveted by locals and out-of-towners alike.
While the staircase pictured here may not be stroller-friendly, much of the surrounding landscape is. Be sure to pack a picnic to enjoy in the stone covered pavilion after your hike.
As steelhead trout set out to spawn, they are such a plentiful species that visitors can spot them jumping over the falls. Kids will delight in seeing this splendid natural phenomenon, and traces of other animals are evident in the park year-round.
It could also double as an easy date destination. Bring a picnic lunch and a blanket and plan to meander around this lovely little park for a bit.
When you’re a parent or grandparent, nothing is as relieving as a short, sweet, and free adventure with the kids. Nature inspires throughout every generation, it seems, and this pretty park in Olmsted Falls will leave you entranced.
