Description

Autumn scene at the Cleveland Metroparks, Hinckley Lake, in Ohio. The Hinckley Lake Boathouse is also located here. They offer rowboat, motor boat, canoe, kayak, paddleboard, pontoon boat and paddle boat rental. The entire park is well run, clean, and one of the brightest gems in the Emerald Necklace of the Cleveland Metroparks. Where else can you spend the day, or an hour, relaxing, fishing and hiking? The boathouse sells bait for fishing, outdoor clothing, snacks and beverages. You can sit outside on the porch or out by the lake or drifting in a boat on this beautiful lake.

Hinckley Reservation is located at the southern end of Cleveland Metroparks. It is the site of the nationally-known annual return of the buzzards. Buzzard's Roost is just a few minutes away. Hinckley Lake is located in Hinckley Township in Medina County, Ohio. The reservation is dominated by the 90-acre Hinckley Lake. The lake is enjoyed by ice fishermen in the winter months. Another attraction of the reservation is Whipp's Ledges. Whipp's has elevations rising 350 feet above Hinckley Lake and was formed more than 250 million years ago.

Worden's Ledges has 1940's carvings made by Noble Stuart. Noble was son-in-law to the namesake of the ledges, Hiram Worden. Visitors of the Park can learn more about the history of Hinckley at the Worden Heritage Homestead. The Homestead is managed by the Hinckley Historical Society.
Hinckley Township also has public access trails.
