Nice park with some picnic tables and grills for a picnic. Trails are very well taken care of with lots of stairs and wooden walkways. The Deer Run Trail has lots of good views and is very well marked. Some inclines and declines with loose gravel that could pose risky for younger kids or older adults. Overall a great little park.

Very nice place to visit. No bikes allowed but stairs for the aerobic or sadistic person. Nice views. I had some bug bites enen wearing long pants and hiking boots. Not to overly crowded but, you were never alone on the trails. Even though not too crowded where we were not a masks was to be seen. The day was hot and humid and in general social distancing was the event of the day! Nice quiet place enjoyed being there. The water levels in the river seemed very low. Enjoy when you go.

ONeil Woods is one of my favorite hikes in the area. The loop is around two miles long. There is some elevation change and stairs that can be slippery after rain. Sitting next to Yellow Creek at the bottom is always very peaceful.

It was a beautiful place to hike with easy to follow signage. The Buckeye Trail runs with it in a couple places. Lots of steps!

I have been hiking for years and this is my favorite trail. It has a river flowing through it and you can go to many different places around the river, the river is super good for skipping stones. The bad part is after doing all that there is a big hill that is very challenging. Overall a good trial would recommend.

Such a beautiful trail. Steep, steps, winding path with excellent foliage in the fall

Nice area. Stair are across from the barn if you want to do some sort of aerobics. It was busy. Every MetroPCS this summer has been busy. There is more tranquility here because there are mo buke rides yelling to your left. Thats just nice sometimes. Just to hear the birds or what other nature sounds abound is sometimes very pleasant.

Amazing views and nice trail. Parking lot was full when I arrived and thought the trail would be congested. It wasnt at all. The trail is just short of 2 miles and theres a stop near the river. Great hike!

Beautiful park. The trails are difficult, so be warned. But they are worth the hike.

Great walk in Cuyahoga Valley National Park~ weather was fantastic and the leaves were vibrant simply breathtaking. This Barn was one of my prettiest photographs

A nice hiking spot. Rated difficult, several hills and lots of stairs, but nothing crazy. Several picnic tables and a Porta potty. Ample parking even on a lovely Saturday afternoon when it was busy.

We loved this trail and were able to manage it with a toddler, even though it’s labeled difficult. There are quite a few stairs and ups/downs. But it’s beautiful and relatively isolated.

Beautiful park, fairly challenging trail, quiet, makes one feel as though theyre all alone and maybe, just maybe, lost?

I love this place. People need to stop leaving trash on the trails and there dog poop bags

Restrooms again need to be cleaned. The trail is awesome! There are some railings that are rotting and need to be fixed. Other than that great trail

Nice little loop with good elevation gain. Go find the mud whale in the creek!

This was my first time at this park. It was really amazing. I loved that the terrain was a bit of a challenge (one point with a lot of stairs). A nice diversity in landscape. The trail goes by a cool barn and there are some great views of the river. There is also an awesome huge American Sycamore along the trail.

Trail was in good condition. Not sure if the parking lot was accessible or not as the road was closed due to construction. I parked down at the bottom near the Red Barn.

Great hike, just maybe not in 90 degree weather.

Fairly difficult trail with steep hills and 1.8 mi long. Lots of shade and a nice hike. Creek at the hallway point.

I loved this park. It reminds me of hikes Id take as a kid, only more intense. There is a very steep and large ravine. You go down and then up forever, so its good to get your heart pounding! There are stairs that take you down, down, down, the ravine. (Or up depending which direction you go). This is a nice loop trail that is 1.8 miles, but is one of the harder trails in the metroparks. When you get to the bottom there are several places where you can see or even access the stream at the bottom of the ravine.

Great hiking, but it is a fairly intense hike.

Great hike in the CVNP. Walking into and back out of the valley was great exercise!

Half of the trail is steep. The other half is relaxing. So it gives you a nice workout!

The deer run trail is challenging but short only 1.8 miles loop trail. The day I went there was not many people around and it was really peaceful. Be mindful that that are quite a few stairs that you need to climb to complete the trail.

Amazing elevation change. Definitely challenging with toddlers. Cant wait to do this alone!!

Trails not marked the best, but a nice hike regardless

Outstanding hike and one of my favorite trails in all of the metro parks. There’s a nice blend of stairs, trails, rivers, hills, and seclusion to make this trail a special place.

Beautiful park w an excellent hiking trail

Medium level hiking trail, beautiful creek at bottom

Nice place to hike at.

Weve been taking our dogs, Bear and Cosmo here for years. I like that there are many picnic tables, as we often have a snack or play cards during the warmer months. Its a great place to see the sun come down through the trees. A well tended park as well.

It was a wonderful morning hike. A good workout, not a trail for those who have difficulty with stairs or hills.We plan to go back when the leaves start changing, maybe go backwards on the trail as the people we crossed paths with did.It is not 5 star because the toilet facility needs cleaning.

Trail was well kept and the views were beautiful This trail has a large elevation change. Not a great trail for dogs or those with bad knees.

Great park but watch the hills!

Great trail thats not too long or short. Various terrain, hills, stairs, flat and runs walking creek.

Sit back and enjoy the scenery by the bench along the river. Super relaxing and peaceful.

Beautiful place for a hike.

This park has a nice parking area with picnic tables, grills, and toilets. Deer Run trail is a 1.8 mile, mostly dirt path, that takes you through woods to Yellow Creek and back. The west side of the loop winds up the side of the valley while there are stairs up the east side of the loop. Personally, is my favorite park!

Beautiful, isolated - feeling, wooded retreat. Deer Run Trail is surprisingly rugged, especially if walked counterclockwise. Its also scenic beyond what you might expect for a semi-urban midwestern park. Dont miss this one.

Nice place for a hike with a lot of steps, only 1.8 miles long so start at (IRA) Trail Head on River View Rd, this adds a extra 4 miles to your 1.8 mile hike. You can enter the Buckeye Trail just off of IRA Rd across the Train tracks on your left before the split. Lots of downed Trees.

Nice up and down trail. I miss the old path by the river, but the climb back up the hill to the parking lot is nicer.

Nice hike. A little bit of a climb but not too bad.

Lovely walk in the woods

Beautiful trail! Not a lot of color quite yet, but would look amazing with some peak foliage. Lots of steps too, be warned. :)

Definitely a level 3 trail but its a lot of fun. Awesome scenery!

Signage could be better (trail marking posts in the middle of the woods dont say anything except giving you a symbol, no mileage no other info). But its a gorgeous park with challenging trails!

Great walk for experienced hikers....!!

Big snakr

Plenty of benches along the way, sit and relax.

Amazing park. They have a very nice red barn and pretty scenery!

Absolutely beautiful!!

Moderate to easy.We went clockwise from the parking lot and went down 100 stairs, returning was a gradual climb. Glad we went clockwise.

Very fun

My favorite metro park. Strenuous but beautiful!

One of my absolute favorite places to hike, clean trails, friendly people hiking there. Many beautiful photography opportunities!! Summer, fall, winter, or spring always a good hike!!!

Deer Run Trail is one of my favorites!

Great hike! 1.8 miles.

Part of the buckeye trail goes through this park and theres a challenging 1.8 mile loop of its own. A nice, well maintained way to get closer to nature

Had a nice walk through the woods

Beautiful park!! Love the buckeye trail extension too

One of the best places for a walk during autumn

Awesome trail a few big hills

Love the trails and nature

Beautiful hike, a bit strenuous for people that cant handle hold or a lot of steps in a row

Very shady hiking trail through the woods with numerous stairs to climb at one moment. To avoid walking up the stairs, enter the trail by the bathrooms. The trail will loop around to the parking lot. Plenty of parking.

The trail here is called Deer Run and it is aptly named as we saw several sweet curious deer. There are picnic spots you can relax in after you hike this very hilly trail..

Great little park for a nice date or picnic. Winding trails up and down hills with some staircases. I do not recommend for someone who may be handicapped or bad knees.

Nice hike!

The hike trail is no joke. If youre looking for a good trail for exercise, go here. Youll hit every muscle and test your endurance, thats for sure.

Excellent trail with access to Yellow Creek and some good up and down hiking

Lots of steps, a good workout!

Great hike. Plenty of shade.

Beautiful day to hike, 1 of many awesome parks to visit.Clean and well maintained

The area is great. But you can definitely get lost on those trails pretty easily.

Nice trail but I learned from experience that you should start at the end of the trail because some of the trail gets pretty steep, If you walk it backwards you will have steps to walk up the steepest side.

Here is a map. Very nice place

A very nice challenging hiking trail through the woods and up a couple of hills. Features a long set of stairs on one side of hill, a stream, and a barn. This park has basic restrooms and picnic tables.

This is one of my favorite local parks. Never overcrowded, perfect trail, full of wonder.

Beautiful park favorite trail

The area along yellow creek is my favorite part.

Beautiful hike!

Very pretty.

Nice beautiful paths the stream is just gorgeous!

Had a very fun time

Super fun hiked the buckeye trail

Great place to hike. Watch for poison ivy and the like. Not well tended sometimes.

Little Gem hidden off Martin Rd Nice Quiet place to go and gather your thoughts. They have trails and places to hike. Pinic tables to for families to use.

Beautiful. If you dont like heights skip it.

Lovely, scenic trails. This park may be my new favorite!

Awesome park

Rigorous but a good 2 miles.

Excellent marked trail with some decent loss/gain in elevation.

Nice, quiet little park with a trail.

Beautiful!

A great trail with varying terrain and a fun hill at the end.

They need to add the buckeye trail to their map.

Love it here

Fun hiking for the family

Nice trails
