Easy and peaceful nature trail with a one mile nature trail and a half mile ledges trail, both of which take a gently sloping walk through a nice forest. Its especially nice to walk through during the fall when all the leaves have changed. An easy walk for any experience level hiker. There is a pit style outhouse at the parking area, but no picnic tables for a meal.
Nice little walk through the woods one big loop. Nice for a walk or a bike ride. People usually walking their doggos and can walk to mapleside from here.
I cant believe I never know about this park. Scenic trail that is unfortunately a little ill-maintained. The highlight of the park are the ledges, yet they have it all junked up with fallen trees and debris. The trails are also swampy and I agree with the other reviewer, LOTS OF BUGS. wear spray!
Small park that offers views of ledges. The Ledges trail is only about 0.5miles and it is quite muddy. Still worth the view at the end but overall doesn’t take more than twenty minutes to walk the trail and appreciate the ledges.
Short 1mile hike through wooded area. Ledges are pretty much just a cliff. Lot of debris in the way.
Very pretty. Lots of trees down after the storm and tornado events in the last couple of years. Fairly short trail at only a mile.
It is a small park with good trails. Main feature is the sand stone ledges. The ledges are not the most impressive in north east Ohio, but worth a visit if you are in the area of the park.
Great short mile loop trail! Up and down elevation.
Its one of the coolest parks in Brunswick. It almost gives you a Eerie feeling there may be Ghost or something is haunting the woods..
Nice little place for an easy hike. Some cooks rock formations
My daughter and I came here to do some hiking and geocaching. We always love the spectacular views and exploring the ledges at this park especially in the fall.
Great little park. Trails were icy but its cleveland in winter so.....
Visited this place to kill some time before a movie. We will be returning to this park when it gets warmer out. Nice trails for a home and nice views
The scenery is lovely, the animals roaming around are always friendly and the paths are beautiful. I feel so at peace whenever Im there.
Not very many people, nice hike, great fungus :)
Love this little hidden gem! Awesome place to go hiking. Just be prepared for alot of ups and downs and to get muddy. I do not recommend this trail for strollers. I have seen people try it and it never goes well. It is not paved at all. It is very much a nature trail. Very quiet and peaceful. Awesome scenery. Great location. Does have outhouse style restrooms as well.
Love it here. Ran into 7 deer and further up the trail 2 more. Beautiful place to get away from the city. Turtles at the small pond, multitudes of birds, squirrels, and various plant life. Early mornings are often completely void of other people.
A great place for the entire family. The trails are pretty easy and for the most part in the shade. Its a bit muddy right now due to the amount of rain weve gotten, but its fun and easy to navigate.
Definitely need boots, most of the trail was mud or under water when we hiked it in December. Will definitely go back. Need to pay attention as signage is lacking
Princess Ledges is a rather primitive nature park. The main attraction is the sandstone ledges and the profusion of deciduous trees. The trails are clear, but unpaved, and you will encounter many roots in the trail. Due to the West facing hillside, the lower part of the trail tends to be wet, and may be impractical during rainy conditions. It is definitely a nature park. There are few signs and no permanent buildings. Bathrooms are vault type, adequate, but lacking amenities. The peace inside the park is worth the visit, with autumn colors generally outstanding.
Nice enjoyable nature trail. Has some flooding in spots, if you happen to go prior or during rain and thaw season.
A hidden gem with a well maintained soft path and interesting rock formations
Its a nature walk! Who doesnt love nature walks? Lol
Great place to hike with the kiddos. Nice trail. Not too long, but still feels like an adventure.
Short 1.5 miles trail with beautiful trees with good elevation at some places. So close to hear of Strongsville. Directions need bit of improvement
Hidden little gem. Whenever we need a little nature time but not much time to spare. Nice little mile hike. Unfortunately some recent storms uprooted some large trees. Paths are clear.
Pretty fun. Good 2 mile hike from the parking lot . Cool ledges to climb on and over.
Still beautiful 😍
Great place to take the dogs for a little hike! A few mild inclines to keep the blood pumping and a well maintained trail.
Fun little nature preserve, the scenic overlook is a little overgrown, and the forest shows signs of declining health, but overall a really cool section of Medina County Parks
Very pretty and a fairly easy hike if you can manage some small hills.
Found it enjoyable. Wooded trails that offer some changes in elevation and some rock outcroppings. Plenty of squirrels
Very very peaceful trail. Absolutely gorgeous. It had rained a bit, so be careful when it rains it will be muddy. But very calming peaceful place.
Beautiful, peaceful, quiet, scenic, nature walk. Not too strenuous. My dog liked it too ;)
Cute little park. Not a challenging hike, but nice to have a chunk of forest in the suburbs.
Small park but not crowded. Trails are easy to fallow but can be muddy in spots
I could not find a place to park to go here. My gps continued to send me to the same area. Which ended up being a dead end private road near a guard rail. Sad because it looked like fun
Nice little hike close to home but not the best signage for the trails. Thankfully its short and they all connect
A serene place hidden away. Perfect to do my YouTube recordings.
Lovely small park in the middle of Brunswick! Its a hidden gem with a one-mile trail through the forest and a half-mile walk to see the ledges.
This park is hidden away from the main thoroughfare of Brunswick. Very quiet and peaceful with beautiful rock faces and walls to appreciate.
Nice easy hike with two kids under 2. They were able to walk most of the trail.
Great run, great pictures. Big thanks to the worlds fastest horse fly who wouldnt let me quit even when I wanted ;)#herbalife#24fit
Cute little park. Great for a quick nature fix, but too small to spend any substantial time there.
Lovely one mile loop trail - well maintained. Easy
Fun walk, but no bikes. Didnt know that the first time. Very nice park
Easy and elegant trail with a perfect length for a quick getaway.
Natural, rugged trail leads you through a one mile forest, terminating in picturesque ledges.
Its a nice little area, be but very swampy and thus buggy. Dont forget the bug spray
Nice lil trail... hidden with lots of life..
Beautiful family friendly hike. Peaceful and secluded. A hidden gem!
Nice little out of the way park with trails. No playground or picnic tables.
If you didnt know this was here, you wouldnt know it was there. I really nice walk in the woods in the heart of Brunswick.
Very beautiful. Usually not alot of people. Pretty quiet and peaceful place to be
A very impressive sight, great walks and plenty of wildlife.
Nice hike. Secluded. Trails not well marked.
Very nice short wooded trail. My Lab was in her glory.
One mile loop with incline. Great workout. Also scenic ledges.
Beautiful park hidden in Brunswick. A must see. The cliff area is amazing
Nice little park for a walk that is nearby in Brunswick. Never crowded.

2021-11-26Small but mighty! The total trail length was under two miles as I recall but it’s one of the favorite parks my wife and I have been to.There are basically two areas to the woods. Closer to the parking lot there are older trees, mostly tulip poplars and sugar maples with some red oaks. We went in late Fall and these trees made the woods very yellow. Beautiful. Farther from the parking lot the woods get scrubbier and younger with the sugar maples replaced by red maples and some pine added in.The park had the biggest Osage Orange tree I’ve ever seen, around 50 feet tall. Fruit all over the ground. Truly an awesome tree.We saw a ten point buck very close to us on the trail.The “ledges” are small areas. Nice but nothing too special. If you want to be impressed with rocks you’ll probably be disappointed.Housing, etc all around the park though I don’t recall a lot of road noise.

2021-10-11Nice place to hike you can get in about one and a half miles at this location with a lap around. The rock ledges are particularly nice when youve got a little recent moisture to give you a little flow of water underneath them. This is a very rooted path. A lot of exposed roots along about half of the pathway so step carefully. Plenty of deer in the area walking through this also.

2022-06-23I enjoyed the peacefulness and nature, but I have no idea if I saw all the ledges. The trails were pretty confusing since I expected 2 marked trails and only saw 1 red trail.Also, the threat of coyotes without any real idea of signs of one or when they were likely to be around made me pretty nervous, especially having a young child with meIt was very pleasant and shaded even on a hot day

2021-07-03This place is beautiful! Its a small nature preserve with a few ledges and some primitive trails but its out of the way and off the beaten path of most well known reservations which makes it an even more desirable place to hike in my opinion.

2020-09-12This trail was a blast to walk. It is not stroller friendly so be sure to keep that in mind. There were tons of fun roots to walk over and little bridge areas for when there is heavy rain. We found at least 5 different types of fungus. At the end of the scenic trail there is one of the coolest ledges ever! Loads of cool angles, moss, dripping water. We will definitely be walking this again soon.

2019-10-16A very beautiful and relatively unknown park, we did a nature hike and found some very cool stuff along the way! Only complaints would be BE AWARE of all the broken glass, it was all around the beautiful sandstone ledges making this gorgeous area a hazard for everyone. Also the trails were not marked very well making it difficult to navigate them.

2022-06-05Peaceful walk through the woods. Rock formations are on fairly steep trails that could be exhausting for one unaccustomed to climbing. Be sure to follow signs to avoid exertion.
