For our April hike, we visit Rocky River Reservation, which is home to the first land ever purchased for Cleveland Metroparks. As part of our hike, we will climb the 135 steps to the top of Fort Hill which provides one of the best views in the entire Cleveland Metroparks system.

We will meet at 11:00 AM in the parking lot of the Rocky River Nature Center and from there head out on the Fort Hill Loop Trail and then connect to the West Channel Pond Loop Trail.

Please wear appropriate clothing and bring what you need to be comfortable like water and an extra layer. Afterwards we can adjourn for refreshments at one of the many nearby establishments.

Directions to to the Nature Center Parking Lot are here:
