Northeast Ohio is not immediately associated with natural beauty, but Greater Cleveland has more parks and outdoor opportunities than most metropolitan areas. Excellent park systems, a national park within the metro area, and miles of Lake Erie shoreline make it a surprisingly good destination for outdoor enthusiasts.

Cleveland Metroparks
One of the most unique urban park systems in the country. A countywide network of parks offering hiking, cycling, golf, tobogganing, nature centers, fishing, geocaching, swimming, and horseback riding. The Metroparks were established early enough to preserve significant greenspace before urban development consumed it all.
