Celebrate Trails Day | Cleveland

Weather: The rain has passed – and we’re looking forward to celebrating trails!

Come Celebrate Trails in Cleveland on April 25th with this opportunity to go for a casual bicycle ride or walk! This free event is an outstanding chance to experience both finished projects and learn about what is underway with the local leaders and advocates that will help bring them to life.

This special event will begin and end at Pepper Pike City Hall, with some options to explore two growing segments of Cuyahoga
County’s regional trail network – the Shaker Median Trail and the new Gates Mills Boulevard Trail. Depending on weather, we plan to have some options:

Option 1 | Full Bike Ride | a 7 mile round trip on both the Shaker Median Trail and the new Gates Mills Boulevard Trail
Option 2 | Short Bike Ride | a 3 mile round trip on the new Gates Mills Boulevard Trail
Option 3 | Walk/Hike | Experience the new Gates Mills Boulevard Trail out and back as far as you like (3 miles max out-and-back)

Following the ride or walk, participants will have an opportunity to learn more about upcoming trail and bikeway projects across Cuyahoga County and how the updated Greenway Plan will guide future investments in the regional trail system.

Hosted on the fourth Saturday of April, Celebrate Trails Day is an annual spring celebration of America’s trails. Started by Rails-to-Trails Conservancy in 2013, the celebration encourages people all across the country to get outside and enjoy the nation’s exceptional trails and trail systems.
