The Ledges Trail circles a plateau of striking rock formations and provides stunning views along the way. The trail is rocky and unpaved, with at least 80 feet of elevation change over its length. We recommend wearing sturdy walking shoes or boots, and being mindful of where you step. Be especially careful during the winter if the trail is icy or covered in snow. To protect this fragile habitat, the national park does not allow any climbing on the rock formations.
To begin, park at the Ledges Trailhead and pick up a trail map at the large bulletin board by the gate. The trail system is complex, so watch the signs. Follow the Ledges Trail to complete a 1.8-mile loop or use the network of connector trails to take a shorter hike. You can visit the Ledges Overlook along the trail, or you can walk there from the parking lot through the wide, grassy playfield.
This is a great place to experience the late turning oaks. Also look for the yellows of hazelnut and witch hazel. Both trees peak late because they grow low in the dense forest. Ledges Overlook offers a view of the changing colors across the Cuyahoga Valley. We will grab something to eat at a nearby restaurant after the hike.
