Lake to Lake Trail is 2.4 miles.
(Middleburg Heights) – Up for a walk?
The new Lake to Lake Trail in Cleveland Metroparks Big Creek Reservation is open and ready for visitors.
The Lake to Lake Trail, as its name suggests, connects Lake Abram and Lake Isaac, with a 2.4-mile long, 10-foot wide asphalt trail with dramatic boardwalk sections over wetlands. The trail is in Middleburg Heights.

A specially-built underpass even takes trail users through a tunnel under an active rail line on one section of the Trail. Other features include exhibits and interpretive displays along the Trail, which also includes a number of boardwalks and, at the northern end of the Trail, a life-size mastodon skeleton sunk in a sand pit at the Trail’s “Prehistoric Play Pit.”
Since 1994, Cleveland Metroparks has worked to protect these important habitat and wetland areas, collecting about 175 total acres to date. This area is a significant regional natural resource as it is the largest, and now the last, remaining glacial pothole wetland in Cuyahoga County.
The cost of the Trail totaled $4.7 million, with design by Benke and Associates of Cleveland and construction by J.D. Williamson of Tallmadge, Ohio.
