Get Out(side) in The Land

From the Cleveland Metroparks to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Mother Nature called. She wants you back in Cleveland. And, frankly, so do we.

All in for fresh starts, Cleveland is wide open and ready for you to explore. From the manicured magnificence of the Holden Arboretum and Cleveland Cultural Gardens to the rolling fairways of Big Met, Sleepy Hollow and more than 60 local golf courses, there’s no shortage of outdoor adventures in The Land.

It all starts with the “Emerald Necklace” and the eight lakefront parks, 18 reservations and over 100 hiking trails of the award-winning Cleveland Metroparks system. Farther south, Cuyahoga Valley National Park stuns with 33,000 acres of woods, wildlife, waterfalls and unbelievable views. From here, take the Towpath Trail all the way back up north to our beloved Lake Erie and the beautiful Cuyahoga River, where you can enjoy kayaking and paddle boarding, or just chill on Edgewater Beach as the waves lap away.

The Land has everything you need to fuel your adventure. Whether you’re seeking beer gardens or actual gardens, Cleveland has it all — and with over 40 craft breweries scattered across the region, you’ll find plenty of patios to relax on, too.

Our job is to give you the spark for your journey. Your job is to go all in on all out.
