Winner: Rocky River Reservation
Long and narrow, this reservation follows the winding course of the Rocky River from Berea almost to Lake Erie. The stream cuts deeply through the soft shales of the valley, carving a picturesque gorge. The reservation includes a nature center, marina, stables and three golf courses. Wildlife is common in the valley and visitors can expect to see numerous bird species and some common Ohio mammals year-round. clevelandmetroparks.com
